Norah Jones

Wow stringreen, a D+ for the vinyl? You should really listen to the CD then. Maybe they overcooked the vinyl?
But like you, I like the music on this album as well.

I'll get the CD from the library and compare....

This album is "dark" sounding (the tone, not the content particularly). I like it but really don't get why it was mastered or mixed to this tonal feel. Almost bought the LP instead and now I wonder if it has the same lack of crisp highs as the CD. Her style features such a nice sort of mellow vocal tone it's really not doing her any favors to put the entire thing in a mid heavy place…strange.

@wolf_garcia Yes, that's a better way to describe it.  To me it didn't sound like every track was that way but when I heard the first track I was like "Oh my."  After a couple of listens I think I'm getting more used to it but the first track still sounds different than most of the album.

I just reserved the CD from the library to compare with my LP....  I'm #7, but will report when I do the comparison.
