After my post last week and the discussion with @BzzBiotch@lemmy.world, I decided to give their new album a shot again.

They have an instrumental-only version, which I fell in love with. It's definitely different than the first album, but I really enjoy the mellowness and creativity of this album. I gave the vocal-version a shot too, and although I prefer the instrumental version, the vocal version is really good too - so I went ahead and bought myself a late birthday gift :D

I have to say, this is probably the best brand new vinyl I've listened to. There are no clicks, no scratches, aren't any fuzzy noises, and I think it's really well mastered... although my ears aren't good enough to really make that difference I guess. But this is the one record I'm like, yeah, the vinyl sounds a bit different than the digital version and I prefer vinyl version a lot more - it sounds a lot more warm and less shrilly(?). I'm comparing it to their YouTube release, so it may be an unfair comparison due to compression.

Either way, no regrets buying it :D
