Title: Deluxe Editions too loud for regular CD players
Product review: I am shocked when I keep seeing positive reviews of this edition of this album. If you like your music very boomy with very little detail and clarity in the highest and lowest frequencies, then this version is for you. However if you own a regular CD player, and want to hear all the various details that the group put into this fine album, then don't buy the "deluxe edition". The 1986 and 1997 masters are much finer sounding on regular CD players than this version. I can only assume that the glowing reviews were regarding the SACD layer, but that can't be enjoyed on regular CD players. I have purchased about 4 "deluxe edition" albums in the past 4 years, including 2 Who albums, 1 Cure album and 1 Stone Roses album, all are overly loud and compressed. I feel cheated for having purchased these, and I hope this review will help warn those that like a fine detailed listening experience like I do.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
