ifitsoundsgoodlistentoit:bretty:I got one of their albums last week. 'Everyone into Position' and it had a nasty overblown bass to it. The album hasn't been played again, and I don't think it will either.surely you buy an album for the music and not the production quality? One of my fav albums Everyday by The cinematic orchestra has overblown bass but it never stops me listening to it!
For me, High sound quality and good songs have to go hand in hand. I just can't listen to badly recorded albums, anymore. Admittedly, I found the songs a bit weak, too, so that made my decision to not play it again that bit easier.
Yeah, I'm rarely too bothered about the quality if the music is good but sometimes you just get an album so bad you can't bare to listen to it. Worst I can remember is an old Metallica one and "New Jersey" by Bon Jovi (a long time back!), liked the music but the recordings seemed to have all the bass removed, couldn't enjoy it
