Lauren_vin Mar 10, 2021

This album sounds great! No surface noise, both LPs flat and a very clear sound. Overall Extremely happy with my copy of Drones.

N4m3less Feb 24, 2021

Sound is just ok, could be better. In the busier parts it feels like it's a bit compressed.

Unbelievable cracking LP with top sound reproduction. Listening on Thorens td2001

nihilator77 Apr 22, 2017

Wow, Had no idea the muse sounded so much better on vinyl. At 13 bucks it's a steal, pleasantly surprised. The album is great driving music, anything with high energy. Vocal nuances on vinyl version are so much more present and audible. I almost thought it was a different vocal mix for dead inside. Highly recommend this album!

For some reason, I just prefer to listen to a digital copy of this album. It just sounds to me as if the mastering for vinyl could have been better...?

blacklog Aug 25, 2015

Sounds all round amazing on my copy even if the albums second half lags and drones has that awful ending that could have been so much more better

lonk3ro Aug 19, 2015

My two copies has a lot surface noise with tracks A3 and A4. Does anyone else have this problem?
