Title: GREAT album. suffers as an MP3
Product review: First, I love this record! I used to have this on vinyl back in the day. Great, scrappy, early record from these guys. It is out of print, to my knowledge, so I was excited to find it offered as a download. I thought: "I will HAVE it! and how bad can it sound, what with modern technology and all?"...The sound is VERY tinny and really thin. Somehow, both hollow AND shrill, with NO guts (which defined this band!) I am NOT an audiophile, per se.. Though I can usually tell a difference between waves and mp3s. This sound quality just breaks my heart and I cannot listen to it. So my $ was wasted, essentially. I HAVE the MATERIAL, but it is about the LISTENING! I should mention I listen to this sort of music on my stereo. Through big speakers. Ideally, LOUD. But I cannot imagine this version improving through earbuds..This powerful band deserves better sound.
