This pressing hits fast, loud and hard! This has rawer energy than the 2025 Rhino remaster of the original, just packs a punch I find lacking in many modern represses. Very aggressive guitars on top of thumping bass and drums, yet Paul’s voice clear in the mix. This is a fucking revelation if you’re only used to the original CD which was muddy and flat sonically. This has nice deep imaging and a 3D sound. Wow!
Final Grade: 3.9
