What in the world is going on.....

I listen to various quality recordings with both speakers and headphones and good amplification.  

Headphones tend to not have as much imaging and soundstage so I find the difference between very good and average recordings in that regard to not be as big with headphones.    

Or it is quite possible that mp3 done well can be higher quality than vinyl not done so well for whatever reason.

So technology alone seldom dictates what sounds best.   

Simple explanation is that most commercial recordings are mastered to sound great on lesser systems. High rez systems will make all those recordings sound like crap. Unmastered albums is actually a thing now.

I bought this album when it came out and posted a comment on it and did not receive one response. I felt that it was recorded hot, had sibilance issues and seemed compressed. I bough the vinyl. IMO, the song writing is disjointed and the lyrics seems forced. There are some interesting moments and probably worth  purchasing but not near his best effort. And, I am a big fan of his music!

I thought I was the only one who really didn't like this album.  Guess not, but Fremer sure creamed all over it.
