Just noticed this new release popup on Qobuz so listening to it while at work.
Enjoying it so far, not as good as the first album, but that was pretty epic IMHO.
Even though Qobuz is saying its hires 24bit 44.1khz a couple of tracks didnt sound that great production wise.
I will need to listen to it properly at home to fully appraise the recording, but its good enough for me to buy it, do i choose CD or vinyl?!?!?
I like it, but like the previous 3 albums for me I need to listen to them a good few times to really get into them. First few listens tend to pass me by …
First listen via Tidal yesterday evening. LG seem to be trying a bit more variety than previously, which is good. I like the couple of new ones from their Glastonbury 2024 set. Some decent bass on a few tracks. Glorious vocals, naturally. A few songs seemed to end the same way, but I may be mis-remembering. I am keen to give it another listen.
Their first two albums were just outstanding. California Soil had its moments. Shame to hear the production quality/sonics may be lacking. I’ll have to have a listen regardless as I’ve been enjoying their albums.
I bought a 1000 press limited picture disc. The sound quality is ok on side 1 but side 2 has a constant background tone that is noticeable between tracks. Not hugely impressive. The first album was a stand out. I can’t see this being a regular listen even though California Soil did grow on me after a few repeat sessions as background listening.
