If your system is exposing the poor recording quality of this otherwise great CD then you have a quality set up. It is just plain wrong in so many areas that i can only enjoy it at low volume and even then it is apparent. It is immediately obvious in the first few seconds, and i think it is inexcusable for a decent artist. I have often felt this way. Brandi Carlile comes to mind...many others. I hope for an acoustic version someday recorded better.
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
