Seeing that this was pressed by GZ Media filled me with trepidation and my fears were mostly realized. First, there’s a huge scuff on my unopened album that fortunately doesn’t skip. But it’s the fidelity I’m more concerned about! And here we get a mostly flat presentation with very little depth in the soundstage. It sounds thin on the bottom end and too compressed on high end. My Qobuz Hi-def [flac] download has more dynamic range. Great songs reduced to an average and uninspired EQ.
Final Grade: 3
