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

I'll take some extra badness if there is much more goodness along with it. Good music is often not recorded very well, this doesn't mean that we all have to listen to it on boomboxes. And if a 'high resolution' system makes the overall experience worse than lower resolution one, this means that either that 'high resolution' system is in fact junk or that the listener cannot tolerate the increased resolution.
If I fixated on negative I couldn't listen to any recording I like. There is a lot of garbage and distortion there.

Stringreen, do all tracks sound bad, or are some worse than others? I've read that they used to reduce the bass on albums because too much bass could cause the needle to jump out of the groove. There's some pretty serious bass on Wristband.

I think the CD sounds good.

inna, thank you for the response. I agree, the problem is I'm now too conscious of the sound quality of the recoding after I bought my high resolution system. Once I accustomed to it, it would be OK, I wish.

I heard this recording on Tidal HiFi, and it sounds good to me. This is not a particularly bad sounding recording, I think.

I wouldn't say this is a bad sounding recording but rather there are some bad sounds on the recording.
