I just got this CD from BMG music club. My copy seems to be overly bright, harsh and grainy. The more "acoustic" passages are listenable, but the "rocking" passages are crowded and indistinct. Does anyone concur with this? Thanks.
I have both of their albums on CD and the compression is terrible. Probably done when mastering ... it seems to be popular to compress the hell out of albums when mastering CDs.
I was somewhat underwhelmed with the music also. If that's the best the UK can produce these days then these are lean times for UK music.
They don't hold a candle to the Radiohead's early albums "The Bends" and "OK Computer" IMHO.
Since this record was so popular, maybe it's subject to an SACD or DVD-A re-release. I don't know which of the two formats their label prefers, if any...
