Yeah and I was being kind.
I listened to this again yesterday. The first couple times I listened to Superunknown, I disliked it so much, I put it away and didn't bother with it, untill yesterday. After the Temple of the Dog announcement, and learning it was going to be the same mixer, I decided to give it another go.
I actually like where the placement of instruments are mixed. They are discrete and they add to the presentation a lot. The problem for me is the overall crappy sound. No low end. Only mid bass. When you start cranking it, the upper end completely drains out the bass, or what little there is of it.
It reminds me of some of the crappy remasters that are compressed, but the disc has a dr10, which isn't too terrible. Could just be the way it was EQ'd. I don't know. Crappy EQ curve plus overall crappy sound equals a disc that sucks.
If you had a twenty band EQ, the disc sounds like they put the first four or five eq sliders all the way down, as far as they go, removing any low end, and took the remaining fifteen sliders, and slid them all the way up, distorting the upper end. It really is that poor.
