This album is great and i just got it today on cd. It's really fun, engaging and exciting.

but

The audiophile side of me cries because of brick-walling in some tracks.
Here is another really good release destroyed by "The Loudness War".
Don't artists realize that some people have good audio system and those people are more likely to actually buy Cd's.


This is the first track on cd1

Its more similar to emotional technology in style but like the previous one in its epic song lengths I guess

Bought it today, but have you to hear it... I really did like some of the remixes however.

I generally hate pop and dance music, but this one is really special. Check it out guys!

Yeah, sadly this seems to be the norm these days. Totally destroying the dynamic range..
The new BT album sure have some nice tracks, but the mixing certainly could have been more successful. Really not sure what the artist have to say either, if his word would/will be heard if he went against it.

Doesn't look too bad. Seems like some of the dynamics are still intact. The parts around 3:15, 5:30 and 7:00 look scary though. Does it clip?

It sounds like the bass drums are clipping on at least one of the tracks. It doesn't really take much away from the album though, but it's certainly not as dynamic as the DVDA version of "This Binary Universe".

Well, it doesn't look too bad, but it definitely could have been mastered better. I only have his "This Binary Universe" album so far...I should change that soon.

Ah that makes sense. We've got pictures filtered out here at work, I didn't realize it was there.
