Johnny Cash, American VI


I bought this on LP and CD. Neither sounds great but the LP absolutely blows. It is distorted and dark and muffled. It is so bad I suspect a pressing defect even though the vinyl looks fine.

Anyone else have an opinion?

I guess it's possible. I didn't compare to the others, but I didn't think it sounded bad, I did notice his voice sounded weaker and sadder, maybe near it's end. Perhaps Rick Rubin had to doctor it up more,or without Johnny's input and guidance things got out of control. I'll have to listen again to it soon.
