Comment What can one say, *ABYSMAL* sound. They've taken the already-heavily-compressed US mastering and pumped up the volume to thoroughly unhealthy levels. The waveforms have to be seen to be believed (though if you have a look at the RMS values, you'll get an idea). Only 'Pullin' a Cloud' escapes somewhat unscathed. Do your ears a favour and get a copy of the US CD, it may be be compressed but it won't blow your ears off like this hack-job!
