Take a voice as beautiful as all Norah Jones' and Sahra Ks together and ask her to perform quite complex but equally engaging music... this is what this record is all about...

Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
 
I really forgot how awesome this record is. I'm going to quote MoFi in which they say in perfect truth: "[size=10pt][size=10pt]Countdown to Extinction[/size][size=10pt] merges the best of all worlds—prescient intelligence, outspoken lyrics, crushing energy, memorable riffs, and giant hooks. This is music that’s at once rugged, contagious, and gorgeous. And, to a man, note-perfect."[/size][/size]

There's always been something about Megadeth that I really like. I have the MoFi disc but haven't listened to it in a while. Maybe it would be time to do so again. I seriously want to get Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? on vinyl...

Nightwish - Dark Passion Play
 

Vinyl. I think it's safe to say that this is my favorite Nightwish album even if Anette lacks everything Tarja brought to the band. The opening track The Poet and the Pendulum is still probably the group's crown achievement. The difference between the vinyl and CD is probably the starkest I've encountered thus far. Whereas both the CD and DVD-A versions are very crushed, the vinyl is clearly based on a much more dynamic hi-res master. The most noteworthy thing about the sound is the incredible clarity which really allows the production to shine. The "fluidity" of the sound is also something I don't think I've ever heard on CD, only on SACD and BD.

I'm giving it another listen right now too. Sounds good on my Pioneer and T50rp!

I also like this nightwish album, but I have the CD and yes, it is crushed baaad. Sucks that they ruined it. I don't own a record player. Anybody know of any digital version available that is mastered well like the vinyl?
