Title: Horrible sound quality!!
Product review: Don't misinterpret this review. Depeche Mode is one of my favorite bands, and these songs are absolutely awesome. However, the mastering on this CD is atrocious. ALL the songs are compressed and clipped, ruining the dynamics of each song. If you take a look at the waveforms of the tracks, you'll see what I mean. It sounds TOO loud and distorted.Do yourself a favor and find yourself the earlier Singles: 81-85 compilation or Catching Up with Depeche Mode if you live in the States ( although you'll be missing Get the Balance Right, People Are People, and Leave in Silence, but those can be found on the People Are People compilation album ).This also goes for the mastering on the 86-98 compilation.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
