Radio KAOS is just a terrible mix. Too bright for my taste. The vinyl is just as bad. Amused to death however is perfection. And the vinyl release is PURE Heaven. THE benchmark for rock vinyl.
I have most of the geriatric boring old farts' albums (all original) on vinyl (when 'The Floyd' were popular). lol. They all sound good to me and cannot fault any of them even the real early LP's. I gotta admit that I lost interest in them when 'Mr Floyd' left after 'The Wall'. All of Waters' recordings sound good, especially Amused to Death. I'd also have to disagree that U2 recordings sound awful.
There are many other rock albums that sound a lot better on vinyl than ATD: Who's Next, Crime of the Century, Aja, Brothers in Arms, Led Zep 1 and 2...
What were they thinking when U2 recorded "War"?; someone was clearly asleep at the mixing/mastering board. It is the definition of lifeless-dry.
