Adele cd...bad mix/recording


Anyone heard this new release from Adele..The track Chasing pavements sounds great through my car radio,bought the cd and played it through a better than good system and it sucks.Took to my main system and tried it,even worse.The mix is all wrong,guitars are recorded with distortion and IMO the backing band is unnatural sounding like computer generated tracks.Drums are totally recorded wrong..Columbia records sure did get this one wrong from a promissing young artist

I was listening to this CD a while back and found the vocals sounding very poor.
Same conclusion here. Her "live in royal albert hall" blu ray recording is also not up to snuff - harsh sounding vocals.
Better then the album yes, but not up to potential. Listen to the Dave Matthews / Tim Reynolds radio city hall blu ray. No comparison, which is a shame because the content is brilliant.
Another recommended multi channel recording (audio only) is Crosby, Stills & Nash - Another Stoney evening on DVD-A. Phenomenal.
