The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD

That's my point. The artist HAS control of his or her gig and not the recording. But it takes a great recording to bring it forth. Yes I will always put merit on quality over if I like or dislike the artist. I have purchased some other albums and CDs of Willie's and I don't care for them or Willie because they are not of quality. If it's not for quality why do you have high end stereo?

"Worrying over the technical merits of a recording is really no different than obsessing about the technical merits of equipment. Neither really addresses the music" Then why don't you listen to music on a walkman radio? This is not crap in crap out?

OK, im going to get kicked around on this on pretty good, i already feel the 'gon'ers lining up for a punt....

EMINEM "SHOW", and EMINEM "The Marshal Mathers LP".

The job done in recording these albums was nothing short of phenominal.

Please dont kick my butt untill you had a chance to listen to it.

Im not talking content here, (which i like as well or i wouldnt have listened to it) but Technically, these are the finest recordings i have ever heard.

Has anybody else listened to this? remember, this is not a forum of weather or not rap is music, or musical taste, this was strictly about the finesty technically recorded album.

I know a couple audiophiles on this board with 20 years into this hobby that use these CD's for reference, because of how well they are recorded. as well as alot of reviews in magazines ive read

almost sounds like a DVD-A or SACD recording more than a CD recording.

Anyways,

PUNT AWAY!!!!

Wow, i just finished reading though all the posts...

I think you all are going a little deeper than the forum asked...?

It said the finest technically recorded album.

It did not say the most lifelike creation of accousical sound possible.

i see notes on accoustical guitars, and weather or not electric guitars should be counted etc etc...

who said anything about accoustic? as far as the forum title is concerned, it could be techno. It says nothing about a live audience or live preformance, it says nothing about accoustical or synthesized...

i still think eminem is one of the best recordings ever. there is other music i like more, but i havent heard anything as clean and crisp as those eminem albums..

im really asking for it this time arent i? :)

You tell them Slappy!!!!!!!!!!!

Slappy,

No disagreement from me although I haven't heard any of the Eminem CD's you mention, just a few cuts here and there. Unless it's available on vinyl it won't get an audition in my system because I don't have a CDP. And, you're right this isn't about the merits of rap.
