I think my worst sounding album now is the reissue of Rated R by Queens of the Stone age. It's a great album, but this reissue is SO quiet - WAY worse that LB. I have to crank the volume up almost twice as high as I play other albums, and even then it just sounds a bit flat. Very disappointing... good thing it wasn't expensive. If anyone wants this album, I recommend springing for the original pressing.
I completely agree with you about Rated R (X). It's insanely quiet and sounds flat when turned up, no punch at all. All my other Queens albums sounds great in comparison.
I'd like to also add Jack White's Lazeretto to the list. The music itself doesn't sound bad, but for album that got hyped so much for all of its bells and whistles, it's pretty noisy and loses points on the QC department IMO.
I agree also about the QOTSA's Rated R on vinyl, it's far too quiet, must have been a bad pressing or not sourced from the original master recording. Very disappointing. Such a shame too, as it's a great album, would love to hear it as a quality recording... :-q
Of the more recent records I'd have to say this is one of the best sounding I've heard. Beck does it again, such a full and lush sound he get's on vinyl, quite blissful. Nearly up there with his 'Sea Change' Mofi release for sound quality.
I might be starting to "get" this album. Since it was released I just haven't been picking up what everyone else seems so taken by. Not sure why... I'm a Beck fan. I "get" Beck usually, lol. But this one, I just wasn't feeling it for some reason. And I kept trying to listen and understand what everyone else was loving, and nada. But now I think I'm starting to feel it all of a sudden. I wonder what THAT is?? Must be psychological in some way, but what's changed?? Hmmmm. :-?
Nice to see that you are "getting" Morning Phase PJ_Soul, it is a very good record, I much prefer listening to the vinyl version of this over the MP3's in the car, it's a sit down at home type record to be listened to on a decent set of speakers. Have you heard Odelay on vinyl? That's another great one if you can find it on that format...
Good Thread!!
one of the best sound records I use for reference is def Radiohead- Kid A on 10"
worst record was LB/Live on 10 Legs/Ten Remastered.... so unfortunate that the quality of PJ vinyl has really gone down lately.
I also find most of the Third Man catalog is mastered way too low.... but it could be the UPI plant they use. LB was also manufactured there... coincidence?
Kid A sounds so good on those 10" records lolobugg, you're right, as does it's companion record, Amnesiac. Both well worth getting.

I don't have Odelay, but it's a great album! I do have the CD.... but I don't really listen to CDs ever. I would imagine that Odelay is pretty expensive to get on vinyl at this point! There isn't a reissue, is there?

There was one 4x LP reissue in 2008 but that goes for hundreds now, more so than the original. I picked mine up second-hand on Flea-bay for about US$50 a couple of years back...
4xLP? For Odelay? What's on it? If it's just Odelay spread across 4 LPs someone would have to pay ME to play it, lol!
Haha yeah thats a lot of flipping! Yeah, the 4LP has a whole lot of rare tracks and alternate versions of songs. Mines an original with just the standard tracks, 1 LP
Anytime a Paul Westerberg album ends up on vinyl and on my turntable I'm a (mostly) happy guy! P.W.'s Eventually came out on vinyl and, as it turns out, to me it's one of those best and though not worst, there are a few weak spots on the vinyl version. As far as the music itself goes, this LP is a bit mixed- not all the songs do it for me but on the other hand, some of them like "Once Around The Weekend" and "Angels Walk" are some of my favorite Westerberg tunes.
The sound on the vinyl version is a bit mixed here. "Once.." is terrific and that THRILLS me because it is such a great song. On the other hand, the vocals on "Angels Walk" are muddy and a bit lost in the background. Still, over all, definitely a keeper and so glad to have this on vinyl.
And P.W./'mats fans- more good news: Paul's Suicane Gratifaction is slated to be released on vinyl later this year! :-D

Great stuff Brian, I think The Replacements have been re-releasing some of their back catalogue on vinyl lately... ??
For some reason I've read online that this version of Nevermind is a bad pressing and I think I've read a couple of people say it on this site also, but for the life of me I have no idea why some people have said such a thing. This is the 4LP version that came out a couple of years back.
Mine sounds absolutely awesome, blasted it the other night and I'd say it's one of the best sounding records in my collection. The separation on the production and instrument's is really clear. Great remastering imo and worth every penny.

Yes, reesdog! Even the Replacements All Shook Down (which is essentially the first P.W. solo album released as a 'Mats record for contractual purposes) was reissued on vinyl and that one sounds fantastic!
A little whine for the day: Woke up to find I'd lost out on bidding on an Albert Ayler LP that's been on my want list literally for decades. That one stung a little-- ouch!

I think a lot of people take a lot from the Dynamic Range numbers. The remastered 4 LP has a DR7, while if you can A/B compare the 2009 ORG pressing which is a DR12. I think you could tell a big difference.

Well ok, I'll have to take your word for it, have you done an A/B test with these MedozK? I'd love to hear that 2009 pressing you mention, because if it sounds better than this it must be fucking amazing...
I have the 2009 ORG pressing and it does sound amazing. I don't have a remaster to A/B, but I have compared other DR7s to DR12s and there is a significant difference. If you can find the original 1991 Nevermind CD, it has a DR12 also. You could probably compare that.

Good question. He probably mixed it, but you kinda have to blame the band too for approving such a dreadful master. I mean they are vinyl fans, esp Ed. They have to know what good analog/hi-fi sounds like. Or maybe they were targeting the Digital market???? don't know why. seems like most PJ fans appreciate good hi-fi.

Well I can't deny the evidence MedozK, that's really interesting to see sound in those Dynamic Range numbers. I'll definitely have to track down a copy of that 2009 Org Nevermind and do a comparison, really interested to find out how awesome that record sounds. Thanks for the info dude!

Listened to the remasters once and that was it. Very disappointing. Hopefully they don't do the same brickwalling to No Code or Yield...that would be TRAGIC!

I agree also about the QOTSA's Rated R on vinyl, it's far too quiet, must have been a bad pressing or not sourced from the original master recording. Very disappointing. Such a shame too, as it's a great album, would love to hear it as a quality recording... :-q

also, buck
I agree... especially the remaster/reissues... they were painful to listen to.

I wonder who we can blame for the loud PJ records? Is it BOB?
Good question. He probably mixed it, but you kinda have to blame the band too for approving such a dreadful master. I mean they are vinyl fans, esp Ed. They have to know what good analog/hi-fi sounds like. Or maybe they were targeting the Digital market???? don't know why. seems like most PJ fans appreciate good hi-fi.

Well I can't deny the evidence MedozK, that's really interesting to see sound in those Dynamic Range numbers. I'll definitely have to track down a copy of that 2009 Org Nevermind and do a comparison, really interested to find out how awesome that record sounds. Thanks for the info dude!
