    Probably the most experimental Black Keys album, but really recommended. The sound is nice, not excellent but not bad, and there is no background noise after a simple cleaning.

      My copy spins perfectly flat and sounds fantastic! Warm full bass…crisp highs…no surface noise at all. Very pleasantly surprised based on the other comments.

        Some surface noise on the first run but got rid of it after cleaning.
        Sounds ok, a bit compressed, soundstage is not big, bass is decent. A solid pressing, happy to own it.

          This one was quite noisy the first play through and I was pretty disappointed but after a trip through the spin clean it’s much quieter. Not too shabby. Worth the 20 bucks.

              There's considerable surface noise on Side B but it's quiet and unintrusive enough that it doesn't greatly affect my enjoyment of the record.

              edit: after cleaning the record I've added an extra star to my rating.

                Other than some groove distortion on first track, the rest is excellent. Hopefully rectified with a good cleaning. Side two is excellent. Must have gotten lucky.

                  It’s too bad because I love this album, but it sounds awful. Most of the first side sounds all distorted and high pitched/compressed. Stay away - stay far away 😒
