First things first: I like the album (although is not my fav from the band), so this negative review is on the state of the item i received, not the quality of MUSE or their music. Since is a recurring problem with vinyls from MUSE, I had to report it.



The packaging by Amazon and vinyl main cover arrived in perfect condition, not a bump or a scratch. So kudos to Amazon for that.



However, after unpacking it and reaching for the vinyl, I noticed that the inner sleeve (the vinyl folder with artwork and lyrics) was tore on all the sides (it's like the vinyl itself cut through it). No big deal, I asked for a replacement.



HOWEVER, the replacement too had the same issue. Funny enough, I had the same experience with Origin of Symmetry. Same exact issue. And the replacement showed the same damage. 6 vinyls out of 6 (as Origin of Symmetry has double disc).



I really think MUSE vinyl factory should really check on the quality of their processes! I returned everything, as I want my collection to be in mint condition, and this damage is unacceptable. Therefore, only 1 star.
