Ridiculously awesomely mastered albums? - Page 3

I would add Ricky Skaggs - Ancient Tones. On top of the music from its prominent strings to the vocals, this CD comes with a clear and rich texture that I would have to describe as pleasing. 

Good stuff there, and yes, well-mastered.

For me the most well mastered contemporary artist is Sufjan Stevens.  Try listening to the CD version of Illinoise or even Michigan and you'll see what I'm talking about.  I also have the vinyl, but the CD isn't too far off.

Great recording and mastering.

god i hope you're kidding, go listen to lateralus and Aenima and tell me 10,000 days isnt absolute trash. dont get me wrong, its good music, but i can only listen to it in the car

I'm not a huge Duran Duran fan ( My wife is ) but i was completely blown away from some of the quality of the recordings on most of their CD's especially RIO.

Aimee Mann has some great sounding albums

Sparklehorse (RIP) has some great sounding albums too

The Mofi press of Beck's Sea Change is totally gorgeous too...best sounding vinyl I have probably

The only Clash album I've listened to is London Calling, what is another good one?

London Calling might be one of your favorite albums period, and yet it is the only Clash album you've heard?  That's absolutly bizzare.

They're all very good, except for maybe the last one.  The next one to get though is Sandanista.

Lateralus and Ænima are great albums, and yes, perhaps better than 10,000 Days.

But I would say the SQ on 10,000 Days is better.

Chopin, Vivaldi, Handel, Wagner, Strauss, Tchaikovsky (particularly Swan Lake and Nutcracker suite).  Thanks in advance.

Cut the Crap was a horrendous album.

no offense dude, but you're delusional, aenima and lateralus are two of the best sounding metal records ive ever heard, and 10,000 days is one of the worst. i havent met a single person that would agree with you. like i said, i do like the music on 10,000 days, its actually the first tool cd i really got into, but the SQ blows, i just hope tool makes a return to form for the next cd
