New album by Nick Cave, Wild God. I am not always convinced by Nick Cave albums (I have found most of his output since The Boatman’s Call to be a touch disappointing) but I must say, on first listen this sounds magnificent

[Pete_the_painter]

It’s a great album and my album of the years so far.

[Stokie]

Some have complained that Qobuz and Tidal versions are compressed. How does the CD or vinyl sound?

[Pete_the_painter]

I’ve been streaming it and thought it sounded ok. Probably buy a hi res version eventually.

[Stokie]

I’m away at the moment, so can’t try on main rig yet. I’m intending to buy CD, but will try Qobuz on Astell and Kern. Interesting different perceptions.

[PDP67]

Only listened on qobuz and it does sound non-audiophile - I suspect caused by the way it was engineered and produced, so I doubt that future formats change that. But the artistic and emotional impact of the album overrides this for me.

[tmb]

Metallica, Ride the lightning.
