    This honestly might be the best sounding record I own. It is so excellent - the master, the press, it’s breathtaking. THIS is what a dynamic record sounds like!

      Amazed at how much better this is than the CD version. I always found that flat and dull. This vinyl version is the thing, nice soundstage and dynamic. Especially Tweedy's voice and the noise bursts sound so much better. Highly recommended!

        Very good pressing. Some slight noise, but nothing too noticeable! One of my favorite Wilco records.

          Maybe mine is need of a deep cleaning because mine is very noisey on the first track until the disortion kicks in. Otherwise, great album.

              Their best album. To be honest, I can't really listen to their albums anymore, except for this one. So so so so so underrated.

                Not my favorite Wilco album, but gets better with every listen. Great packaging and great pressing. Almost dead quiet with great sound dynamics.
