About this deal

Mixed at Enterprise Studios, Burbank, CA and Akademie Mathematique of Philosophical Sound Research, Los Angeles, CA. that being said I wasn’t expecting a mind blowing pressing, and it wasn’t any worse than any digital version of this record. would recommend:) Recording location: Cello Studios, Los Angeles CA and Akademie Mathematique of Philosophical Sound Research, Los Angeles, CA. Voices, and drums sound clear, bass sounds exactly as it should: at times pretty clear, and at times like opaque and bombed. Guitars sounds crashing and dirt. Almost bought a transparent green version of this from a record fair, until I realised it was a bootleg.

I'm a bit dissapointed it is not 180 gr weight, and no merch inside. But it costs not so much, so okay... On the other hand I wound give even more to have SOAD in my collection, so I'd love to have a poster or something. Sound is just good. Really good. Much better than last Korn's release for example (my humble opinion) Of course it'll all depend on your turntable setup, but I'm pretty sure anyone with a half-decent setup will find the same results I have.

Notes

I just bought it from a local vinylstore, mine is marbled white. I somehow knew that it was a unoffical issue, you can see it from the poor cut on the edge of the vinyl, it's sharp! But I thought i'll give it a try! Picture at the cover is in deed enlarged but, dude, this is about 2 decades later and picture still original.

mine sounds pretty decent. this album doesn’t have a fantastic mix to begin with, regardless of medium- and this didn’t promise a remix so i’m not disappointed. it sounds fine, perhaps slightly more warm and dynamic than digital but not a mind blowing pressing. Mastering while not impressive, is good enough. I didn't find the separation to be great. Definitely a high to have something sounding this good without clipping, though. Vocals and additional recording at Akademie Mathematique of Philosophical Sound Research, Hollywood, CA.

Marketplace

Also there are some traces of pink vinyl on my white pressing, which makes me think they used the same stampers for all of these unofficial pressings.

Amazing to finally have this landmark album on vinyl. Quite why it took so long is a mystery, especially with the amount of shitty bootlegs that have been floating around for years. Flat quite pressing for me, sound is not as fatiguing as the cd, I did direct a/b comparisons on an expensive revealing system. I-E-A-I-A-I-O" contains interpolations from "Knight Rider" written by Stu Phillips and Glen Larson. Courtesy of Songs Of Universal, Inc (BMI) With their self-titled debut album, System Of A Down 1998 does it all right. Subtile lyrics, pounding sound and a successful mixture of different music styles from punk to folk to death metal - System Of A Down is just right.

Recommendations

Anyway, here it is at last. What does the vinyl sound like? Pretty good! Real heavy bass, Shavo's lines sound literally alive through your speakers. John's percussion shines & Serj's vocals sit proudly & defiantly on top of the mix for all to hear.
