I guess it's exciting to have a real piece of CD2, even though it's mixed like shit with mediocre lead guitar compared to the Bucket/Robin versions. 1 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are valid arguments. Hard Skool and The General seemed to suffer most from poor production. The unwelcome guitar parts just add to the chaos. 3 hours ago, alfa75 said: The mix on the CD sounds noticeably better for TG to my ears.

Hard Skool and Absurd got the works, trifecta. CD, vinyl, and audio cassette! My guess would simply be that the Hard Skool CD didn't sell well in the US. Also I believe Japan still buys CDs at the highest rate in the world today (CD sales are still really good there!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m by no means an expert, but it just sounds a bit clearer and each instrument is a bit more distinct from the others. Now that I’m used to it this way, it’s my default version so I still notice some imperfections, but listening back to back, for me the quality jump was clear. It’s sadly not at the level of any of their releases up until CD. (OMG excepted) Maybe side 1 of LIES as well, but that’s excusable given the stage of their career. Now it’s harder to justify. I do remember Metallica getting lots of criticism for Death Magnetic, so I guess that’s the closest parallel. In fact, I think Black Album was the first of their albums that sounded “good” whereas AFD was spot on and still holds up now, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What absolute rip off con artists They couldn’t even be bothered to include two live NITL tracks this time. Would have been nicer having a few more songs on the CD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
