Anyway, I'm not the biggest audiophile. But when so many albums are poorly enough mastered that I can easily tell on my middling audio gear, then something is wrong in the industry.
My biggest issue is rerecording some of the vocals. Like, what? Regardless of how ****ty Davey Dave's voice sounds these days it clearly sounds different and is ****ing jarring when juxtaposed with the original vocal track. The man is an idiot as well as an egomaniac.
