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

I have both of their albums on CD and the compression is terrible. Probably done when mastering ... it seems to be popular to compress the hell out of albums when mastering CDs.

I was somewhat underwhelmed with the music also. If that's the best the UK can produce these days then these are lean times for UK music.

They don't hold a candle to the Radiohead's early albums "The Bends" and "OK Computer" IMHO.

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.
