4.5 stars for the music, 1 star for the vinyl issue. I purchased this great album on CD when it was first released in 2004. However I am very disappointed with this LP issue because the vinyl was filthy with dust, the surface badly scuffed and a play stopping skip on side two. The original CD digi-pak is foldout so the entire album cover image could be seen as a panorama. The red background is matt finish with all the images picked out in a glossy finish. So it is a rather unique piece of album art. The vinyl jacket should have been done the same but it is not. The whole thing is glossy and being a single jacket you cannot fold it out to see the album art as intended. The vinyl does not sound as good as the CD. If you own the original digi-pak CD then do not waste your money on this vinyl.
