Upon my initial listening I feel it is safe to declare this new offering from Bob Dylan a masterpiece. Very comforting to know America's true folk treasure is still on top of his game.
Audiofeil, so what your trying to say is that if I had a better Hi-Fi set up I would agree with all the criticism of the mix quality? That it's my stereo that is at fault. Did you not get my metaphor posted above? As far as my system goes, we won't get into that here. This thread is about music. Please feel free to check it out on Audio Asylum listed as " My analog system" rfigster
I borrowed the digital version this weekend and played it through my Esoteric P-03/D-03/G-0s combination. I agree with Shadorne's previous assessment and my vinyl findings. The mix is flawed. Thank you
Dylan deliberately took control of the sonic production of Modern Times as he rebels against modern CD and digital - he may be a great artist but IMHO his sound engineering skills are not up to scratch of other pros. I guess his criticisms of CD and digital are also an indirect attack on Daniel Lanois who was behind the arty and atmospheric sound of TOOM and Oh Mercy (which were both very successful albums).
