Dr. Dre `The Chronic`
Jurassic 5 `Quality Control`

Also, many modern rock albums and remastered rock albums will more than likely have ridiculous amounts of compression (loudness war) so try to find either old cd's, or albums that are not under the influence of heavily compressed editing styles.

Thanks

Yes I have been buying the remasters. The Stones Let it Bleed and hot rocks sound amazing. I have most of the Mo-fi collection (rock) on gold CD. The Chronic remastered sounds amazing as does the remastered 2pac and N-BIG ready to die.


I just need some fresh stuff to check out

I do not listen to the Radio so. I am not sure what is new, good and most importantly recorded well.

I ordered
Quality control & Absentia

These are not the most recent offerings from these bands. Is the sound quality good?

excellent

It will be nice to check out some new stuff. I chose Absnetia because you listed it as your first choice.

Oh ya, you will not be upset with either the recording or quality of music. Like most hip hop, there is sampling and the cracks and pops can be heard, but it does not stand out like many samples do.

Another record to check out is..

Collective Efforts `Medicine`

I think you will dig Absentia...they are regarded highly in the progressive rock scene...a good mix of rock, heavy rock and slower tempo stuff...PT opened my eyes to a whole new genre of music and I haven't looked back!

IMO In Absentia didn't have the best sound, however - the DVD-Audio release is slightly better but they seem to improve with each DVD-A. Deadwing sounded better than IA, FoaBP sounded better than Deadwing and Lightbulb Sun sounded better than either of them. Can't wait for The Incident DVD-A, but you can get the CD - it sounds good - lots of dynamics.
