So I got this German remaster from the 320 series for my birthday, and I’ve got to say this vinyl series is quietly nudging its way into my collection. Apparently, this is a 2003 remaster that used the analogue master tapes, and it sounds awesome.

I love the separation and how tridimensional it sounds, especially in the vocals. For such a beast of a record, there’s a whole lot going on at all times, and you can definitely appreciate all the little overdubs and interplay. It’s such a raw and powerful album, while at the same time a spectacle of musicianship, and this pressing lets that shine through without being buried under compression. On the contrary, it’s a pretty crankable disc.

If you’d tell me this is the best Badmotorfinger ever sounded, I’d believe you.
