C’mon guys. Difference between sounding loud and sounding bad. If you don’t know what the issues are with over-compression, don’t try to make a statement.

The songs are good, but it sounds way too compressed. You can hear it, mainly on the drums. Crap. People usually don’t know if it’s compressed or not, cause they don’t know what to listen to to be able to tell. Sound people and musicians can usually tell better. It’s their job!

Anyway, Just bought it, good album.

Love the album, don’t love the distortion/compression issues. But then again, the GH version takes care of that. Still, in this day and age, when a band spends SO MUCH time and money recording an album, its ridiculous that the end result sounds more distorted than your average garage band using an ancient 4-track.
