John Mellencamp "Life,Death,Love....."

Yes, I have it on vinyl and it seems quite a bit duller compared to the CD.

I've got the vinyl, nothing special, a little dark sounding and mushy.

Much of this album reminds me of Springsteen's 1995 Ghost of Tom Joad.

The moods and emotions in the songs are very similar IMO.

There is some terrific instrumentation and overall one of his best efforts.

I'm still partial to Uh-Huh and American Fool.

T Bone Burnett uses ATC speakers for engineering, mixing and also for mastering (uses Gavin Lurssen). He has a thing about ensuring proper dynamics in what he produces. "Raising Sand" recently won album of the year Grammy. Perhaps there is still hope for a return to well recorded uncompressed music...
