I've probably listened to the "new Abbey Road" 5 times by now. Frankly, I think it transformative. It sounds sooooo much better than a lot of the current pop and rock that is being released. I hope that it tops the charts, exposes new generations to what music can sound like, and helps deliver the recording industry a wakeup.
I'll get off my soapbox and say that I streamed it from Qobuz, the 96 Hz/24 bit version. Thought that it overall that it was clean and balanced. The bass was just right (organic sounding) and the detail and sound stage were fantastic. It's not often that I sing along to an album, as it scares the neighborhood, but I cut lose with this one! It provoked a very emotive response from me, which often doesn't happen with remastered albums. Would be great if they could do this with all the old Led Zep, Stones and Who albums as well :)
