Yeh - I know this one's abit of a way-out, mind bending, ground breaking, limit pushing maniac of a record. On those grounds, Don't Say We Didn't Warn You hits all the buttons.
But one button it presses which I can not stand is the stupid amount of compression and clipping that has been poured all over the music and is the reason for 1 star. In places, there just is NO dymanic range what so ever. Constantly in the red!
I know the late Martin Rushent produced this album and his son is the guitarist, who mastered (sorry masacred) the damn thing?
What a shame this horribly mastered album signifies the probably epitaph of Martin Rushent's long and amazing career.
James Rushent, - do your Dad proud and re-master this again, level it at around 16dB and include a decent bit of dynamic range this time...and NO CLIPPING!!!
Typical modern day production.
