The original pressing is a great example of how good pop music used to sound and how shitty it sounds today because of dynamic compression.
“3 a.m. Eternal” sounds huge, and doesn’t inflict pain when turned up LOUD.
I haven’t listened to it on streaming services, but most of their catalogs have been ruined by “remastering;” AKA crushing them into a wall of noise with dynamic compression to make them “louder.” It’s despicable.
More recently I really started listening to the album more. "Build a fire" has grown on me.
Such a great album. Still sounds good today...was amazing then.
