ha! what a coincidence. i tried the st. anger album on my axioms today and i thought, "blah, this sounds awful."
i'll have to pickup that re-release of master of puppets. the cunning stunts dvd sounds awesome.

alice in chains unplugged - killer.

another album that was poorly recorded IMHO is chilli peppers californication. some of the songs sound terrible. there's a lot of sibilance on several tracks.

dave matthews sounds really good on the m60s. clapton unplugged rocks.

kenny wayne shepherd sounds great. the black sabbath reunion album sounds good.

i've definitely noticed, as many have mentioned, that the axioms will let you know when you're listening to a poor recording.
