Listening to Back To Black on Spotify both through Cambridge Audio S30 speakers and Sennheiser HD600 headphones. It seems to me there is quite a bit of bass distortion and clipping as a result
 
Without the CD at hand, any owners able to confirm this suspicion? Somewhat distracting. Who mastered this album? Ugh!

 

[Br777]

its very well known that this album contains distortion.. many threads on head-fi and elswhere discussing it...
 
maybe someday a alternatively mastered version will surface like what came up recently with Red Hot Chili Peper's Californication...

I think it's her voice that's distorting/clipping, more than the bass.

 

[Uncle Erik]

Yep, it's a poor disc. The distortion bothers me, too. Shame because it could be so much better.

 

[Rainbow Randy]

It's not enough that drugs would kill her career, the loudness war goes and ruins it?SUBMIT

 

[joelpearce]

It's a bit troubling considering that she used the Daptone studio and backup band, which puts out some great sounding albums.
