Days of the New's very first and second, The white sripes's 'the white blood cells", any 'Rage against the machine', 'The Sixteen horsepower's first two (at least thoes I have)All of the above have 'blackness' (that Sean talks about in his post)between and thru the notes that makes the sound much clearer with precise imaging and depth with least amount of grunge(no pun intended). Few of the Mapleshade CD's I have ( the fallen angels and silent bearm and few more-can't recall all) are my reference for rock sound.( Although music you gotta use to) with all the qualities that Sean describes with much more realism
Rock albums that sound good on your system?
Often, you put in a rock album into your S$10,000 system and the music, though enjoyable, just sounds harsh, grating, boomy and forward. Aside from several of my Pink Floyd albums, the rest of my rock CDs just sound bad. Are there any good rock recordings out there?
