U2 Joshua tree is a great album but very poorly recorded and compressed like crazzy.
This isn’t the only one just the most egregious example. The Stones of course are crap. Duh. But anyone hearing Joshua Tree anything less than dynamic, deep, layered, and with massive inner detail is either playing a crap pressing, a crap CD (but I repeat myself), a crap system or has crap ears. My copy is demo material. Don’t be so fast to blame the recording. Figure it out.
“Born to Run” at the top in terms of gap between greatness of music and anemic sound.Right. Bruce is the King of Great Music, Crap Recording.
I make exception for The Ghost of Tom Joad.
