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

Same conclusion here. Her "live in royal albert hall" blu ray recording is also not up to snuff - harsh sounding vocals.

Somebody at the record company had to sign off on this. I'm guessing that they had no idea this would take off the way it has. I'm certain it was recorded without the budget or attention a Norah Jones record would get, so it sounds that way. Her next record WILL get that kind of budget and attention. Hopefully she'll have material that will stand the scrutiny.

I doubt it. She won two grammy's with her first album 19.

I think the live version at the royal albert hall is not perfect but it is much better. I can connect with the artist in a better way.

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.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am always looking for great live events on bluray. Will try the Dave Matthews.
