Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head"


I just got this CD from BMG music club. My copy seems to be overly bright, harsh and grainy. The more "acoustic" passages are listenable, but the "rocking" passages are crowded and indistinct. Does anyone concur with this?
Thanks.

Since this record was so popular, maybe it's subject to an SACD or DVD-A re-release. I don't know which of the two formats their label prefers, if any...
Pick up a Catherine Wheel album:
"Adam & Eve"
"Chrome"
"Happy Days"

They are Coldplay with cojones, and better production as well.
I just went to Acoustic Sounds to check out the album, it's friggin' 30 bucks! It's not worth that much to me. Now what.
Sadly more proof I'm not an audiophile-the music is decent no more than that but the recording seemed okay to me.
Hammergjh,
Read the fine print. I think the album includes a fold-out poster of a Gwyneth Paltrow. Still no takers?
