Title: DO NOT BUY THIS ON VINYL
Review: Boy was I excited when I ordered this new pressing of my favorite Avett Brothers album on vinyl. The packaging looks fantastic and the records are even pressed on heavyweight vinyl. Unfortunately, that all changed after I dropped the needle on the first track.All throughout the album there is excess sibilance, an overemphasis of the 'S' sound, which utterly destroys both Scot and Seth's vocal performances. It is so bad even the piano is mucked up! Ramseur Records really botched this pressing and it is ridiculous nobody caught this before it hit the market for $30 a piece. Seriously, if you're going to issue a quality release, make sure it sounds acceptable first. If they reissue this fantastic album sounding right, I will definitely buy it again.Others who share my distraught:[...]
