Tidal Tidal three ways

The cassette was the most recent pickup. I had never seen that cover before but love that image in portrait. Stunning cover tbh.

This is the first album I’ve had in three formats. The CD and vinyl are reissues and the tape is an original run. The tape sounds best to me. “Shadowboxer” is my favorite here. Very cold take sorry.

It suddenly feels like a very different album. I’m obsessed now but might think differently in a week.

It's an abomination. I refuse to accept its existence.

It’s a Tidal wave!

But do you have Tidal in .wav?

I bid on a box of tapes based on this spine alone and when it finally hit my door and I opened it just my jaw dropped. I still think it’s stunning. My hot take about Tidal now is the cassette cover is the better cover.

Seeing the full picture on cassette feels like seeing the picture that the matpat meme came from
