Anyone got this CD? I've now listened to it on 3 systems: my car (Kenwood head unit + Alpine speakers), my home (Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble --not really very good-- + CS Subwoofer 1 + H/K 525, set to Dolby PL2, Stereo, and DTS), and Peter's (pmbuko) M22 + SVS + Onkyo setup. It seemed very compressed to me; it was mastering that was either so bad, or so weird, it was hard to get into (not to mention the rather, uh, challenging material). At times, it sounded like certain tracks of the recording were intentionally mastered badly (such as the intro to St. Anger). The second half was better, but it still sounded very compressed (horizontally). Anyone else have any impressions?
