Reviews
Just grabbed a copy of this off Amazon paid like 35 bucks but my copy sounds great no pops and cracks volume seems normal I’m happy with it
Edited 7 months agoThis has to be one of the crackliest-sounding ‘new’ records I own. Loads of noise, even after a spin clean. Other than that, it sounds…ok. A little muddy. But the overpowering feeling is that of adding milk to Rice Crispies.
You really have to play this record LOUD for it to open up and sound good. It makes quite a difference. At lower volumes it sounds somewhat muffled and murky. Crank it up a bit, the bass and drums become more distinct, as does McCabe's guitar. I'm glad to have it on vinyl, I love this album, but unlike a lot of the albums from this era that I've heard on vinyl, A STORM IN HEAVEN pretty much sounds just like the original 1993 CD, I don't notice any less compression, or much difference at all. I got a near mint copy for $20, and I'm glad I didn't pay more than that. It's not the quietest pressing, but it's acceptable. Just not a stunner.
Edited 2 years agoBought new and has some crackle typical of modern pressings, some parts seem really good while other songs are somewhat muffled. Got rid of my cd in the great cd cull charity shop giveaway so can’t compare but a bit reluctant to go for a very expensive first press. I had everything from the Verve from the beginning but on cd of course as like many other idiots I stopped buying vinyl over cd’s in the early nineties. Wish i had a time machine.
Edited one year agoThe packaging makes it look like a quick and cheap repress but doesn't sound as bad as people here are making it out to be. My copy is a bit noisy and comes off a bit flat, but not enough for me to not enjoy the music. Still a good pressing for those like me who don't have the $$$ to shell out for the original pressing.
Edited 3 years agoi feel this reissue has MUCH louder vocals than the original issues of Storm In Heaven. Probably at the discretion of Richard Ashcroft. What a shame--sort of renders this reissue totally worthless IMO. This needs an analog reissue of the ORIGINAL recordings. AVOID THIS ONE.- I think it's common to have noise dynamics on this version, and my copy isn't the exception. But on the positive side, it's a really good record. I don't know if it's a really popular opinion, but this is one of tge best shoegaze records ever made. Butterlfy? Oh god, it's pure and a beautiful musical madness.
Why do some have the hype sticker and some say made in Germany? Are these two different pressings?- As stated before, not the best dynamics. But if you turn up the bass a bit it's a really nice record certainly considering the price.
- Edited 4 years agoThis is not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. Sure I wouldn’t put it in my best ever sounding records list but I’d give it about a 7.5/10.
