It's a great record. Also the 22 pressing is incredible it's just the first two that don't sound good and even that is subjective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafening Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 13 hours ago, Sunshine said: There's only auto-tune on his vocals on one song (the first one) and it's for maybe 20% of the vocals. I guess that technically fits your parameters of it being non-listenable because it has auto-tune but it's kind of silly to write an album off over 30 seconds.

azvd Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The album is amazing. I understand the frustration if one's was expecting a return to old form. But I loved the melodies and how beautiful music is "hidden" under minimal arrangements. Really, I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really didn't expect this to be so good - like almost bon iver, bon iver level for my taste. Now it's an even bigger shame they haven't made an exclusive color or an indies exclusive for this...

timsimmons Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) He did a Beats1 interview a week or so ago, saying they were using several plants to press this up to get this out today. While I'm assuming the cut and the jackets are the same, I'm curious to see if there will be variations in quality on this record depending on the plant used.

Vinyl Fury Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the vinyl release. Thick gatefold with various texture, large booklet, very decent pressing, and housed in a clear slipcase with a layer of the art on it. And a 24 bit - 48k download to boot.

Agreed, the physical quality is fantastic, sounds super clean & rich. Wish I felt the same about the songs it contains.
