THE CURE - 4:13 - Latest album - opinions

The new Cure Album is pretty good. The opening track is amazing as is most of the album - pretty out of the box for the band IMO. Sound quality to me is very poor - very compressed and bass heavy - boomy and just shrill at times. Anyone else with an opinion? I love the Cure, they are one of my all time favourite bands but perhaps its just meant to be played in the car and very loud - distortion and all - but certainly not audiophile stuff IMO. Even their remasters are just OK. With classic albums like Disintigration, its really too bad Smith can't get it together to put out something that sounds clean. But maybe thats his intention... who knows

Good listening
