The best & fastest summary of this release can be worded very simply.
BUY THIS ALBUM IMMEDIATELY.
Then, when you get home, shlepp it into the player, and crank the volume all the way to the max.
The opener "Barrel Of A Gun" is simply stunning. The impact at volume cannot be overstated, it is stupendous.
There is not a single filler on this record.
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
The mix is spot-on perfection for me (although again I prefer the sound of the DTS-DVD over the SACD here. The Super Audio sounds, well, harsher to me and a little harder to listen to. Hard to explain it, but there is something in there that makes me feel uncomfortable when listening to it. This does not happen with the DTS-DVD though, so may be an artefact of some sort) and for once the LFE is actually not overdone either.
Did I mention how good it is yet?
All together now...
"Whatever I've done ------been staring down the barrel of a gun.........whatever, whatever"
Ah - it's like having a second youth all over again.
Oh - it's bloody good too. I don't know if I mentioned that before, so I'd better say it again.
11/10
What I wouldn't give to hear this on a DVD-A though......
