Robbie Williams: Intensive Care

[Beck]

Great cover, great vinyl quality, 45 rpm, bad, bad, bad sound!!! Does the cd sound just as bad? It sounds like they have put mp3 sound on vinyl!

Its Robbie Williams, you can't polish a turd mate.

 

[Beck]

I`m not a fan but I do think his latest record is his best to date.

and the bar was set so high previously!

 

[Beck]

I`m not going to defend Robbie here but I would like an answer to my first question.

Sorry this is the wrong room for an argument. This is abuse. Arguments are the next door along.

I`m not going to defend Robbie here but I would like an answer to my first question.

Same question came up over on ZG and I thnk the conclusion was that its just a piece of careless couldn't give a toss recording/mastering.

 

[Beck]

Thank you! What is ZG?

 

[Uncle Ants]

Thank you! What is ZG?

ZG = Zerogain - http://www.zerogain.com/

I think the quote from someone asking the same question as you was that it sounded like it had a soundstage the size of a letterbox, which then turned into a discussion on the pros and cons of pro tools.

 

[Beck]

All I can say is that taking a heavy quality vinyl record out of the sleeve, putting it on my turntable, pressing 45 rpm I thought something was wrong with my stereo. Grainy lifeless sound!

 

[Mullardman]

Sounds like a description of a lot of 'popular' releases these days.

 

[zener]

modern recordings suck , they are for the MP3 generation , the 21st century music centre.

 

[Thom PC]

Okay, I'm probably not getting a lot of street credit from this one: I have been too busy listening to the IMHO obvious classic pop music qualities on "Intensive Care" to care about sound quality.

[Beck]

No need to run! I can appriciate the same qualities but can`t hide my disappointment with the sound.

 

[AlexTaylor]

Great cover, great vinyl quality, 45 rpm, bad, bad, bad sound!!! Does the cd sound just as bad? It sounds like they have put mp3 sound on vinyl!

Exactly the same on CD, it sounds terribly compressed.

A nice bit of wedge coming the way of the criminally underated Stephen "Tin-Tin" Duffy for this release I believe.

For any interested parties Stephen Duffy's solo albums and those of The Lilac Time are pretty much all superb. Beautiful pop.
