And here's a rare photo of the actual event...
Is that how it was or was that how it is?

windhoek,
Can't help you with grammar, but I know what caused the dinosaurs* to go extinct.

Example A
1. I listened to the album and thought it was highly compressed.
2. I listened to the album and thought it is highly compressed.
Surely 1. is the correct version. The thinking happened because of the listening, both happened in the past, therefore both should be in past tense. QED

I'm inclined to agree, although uncertainty arose when I considered whether the album remains compressed, which it presumably does, and what would be the most apt way to express it.
I call BS. Color photography wasn't around until the late 1800s.
Ah, in that case, one would indicate the listening was done in the past but the thinking is in the present. Therefore: I listened to the album and think it is highly compressed. QED again
It could be worse. (Or better?)

Surely it should be:
I didn't listen to the album because it was highly compressed.
I agree; although I ask because I'm writing a book and want to make sure I get grammar right because apparently, it's quite costly to get a book properly proofread.
