Title: DVD-Audio Quality Disappoints
Review: While the audio quality is okay for a CD, I bought it for the DVD-Audio quality. Everybody's correct in saying that it's two-channel PCM, and that's why I'm disappointed. Sure, it smokes next to other CDs, but it's just flat when you compare it to other DVD-Audio disks.If you want good surround mixes or lots of dynamics, take a listen to any of the Talking Heads discs included in their Brick collection or to Donald Fagen's Morph the Cat. Even the Who's Tommy, which was originally recorded in the late 60s, on DVD-Audio, has much more dynamic range and detail than this disk does.Sure, the music's good, but I was really hoping that the opening of Hell's Bells would rattle my teeth. Instead, it just rattles the cheap plastic clock I have hanging on the wall behind my system.
