Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head"


I just got this CD from BMG music club. My copy seems to be overly bright, harsh and grainy. The more "acoustic" passages are listenable, but the "rocking" passages are crowded and indistinct. Does anyone concur with this?
Thanks.

I agree -- the CD seems compressed to me. A friend has the vinyl version which sounds a lot better to us both.
I fully concur. It really sucks because I like the band a lot, but it's hard to listen to. "Parachutes" is no better.
