My god this thing is so much warmer and richer on vinyl. I'd only listened on Spotify so far. But god! I loved this thing before but now... just wow. So full and even more robust than I'd thought. Is the vinyl a different mix? Jesus. The guitar at the end of Pills??!!! Sweet Jesus!

Yes, it sounds fairly weak on the digital platforms. Even the files from the download card in the jacket & are now on my iPhone pale in comparison to the vinyl. Not a huge surprise, and I'm glad some artists are still doing separate mastering for vinyl.
After about 20-25 spins I think it's a great album, my ranking goes something like this:
1. Los Ageless 2. Happy Birthday Johnny 3. Savior 4. Smoking Section 5. Pills 6. New York 7. Dancing With a Ghost/Slow Disco (seems like 1 piece to me, very similar to We Put a Pearl in the Ground/Land Mines from Marry Me) 8. Hang on Me 9. Fear the Future 10. Masseduction 11. Young Lover 12. Sugarboy
The top 4 are already on my list of the 20-25 best tracks of her career.

I just can't get enough of that song. Seriously, Los Ageless through Fear the Future is an outstanding unfuckwithable run of excellence. 5 blistering shots of pure aural bliss.
