WINNER Making Vinyl Awards: Best Vinyl Gatefold

Concept albums aren’t anything new, but this one certainly follows a new flavor. Battletoads: Smash Hits is a 2xLP retro recharge split between two toadally rad discs. First is a trip through an NES time warp, featuring legendary tunes by David Wise (Donkey Kong Country, Diddy Kong Racing) — the OG soundtrack that sent the ’Toads on their epic collision course. Turning the dial from 1991 to 2020, we’re introduced to the metal-drenched score of David Housden (Thomas Was Alone), a fitting modern melody of mayhem for Rash, Zitz and Pimple to bust jaws to. Before Professor T. Bird ends this transmission, we must warn you: This vinyl fights back. The limited edition jacket design by acclaimed artist Alex Pardee includes an iam8bit.com exclusive punch — a “Kiss My Fist” 3D Pop-Up gatefold.

Edward A. ★★★★★

The gatefold art on this is genuinely gorgeous, way nicer than I expected for a video game soundtrack release. Both records spin clean with barely any surface noise, and the track sequencing across the two LPs actually flows really well. Worth every penny for anyone who grew up with these tunes.

Penelope P. ★★★★☆

The gatefold art is genuinely gorgeous, and the two records split the soundtrack nicely between the darker and lighter tracks. Only gripe is that one disc had a bit of surface noise on the first spin, but a quick clean sorted it out.

Natalie W. ★★★☆☆

The split between the two records makes sense for casual listening, but the track sequencing feels a bit uneven on side B. Pressing quality is decent with only light surface noise, though I expected a little more from a 2xLP at this price.
