John Lennon

Double Fantasy

Good album, but poorly remastered

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (4/10)
I don't have anything to add to the discussion of the musical quality of this album, but something should be said about the sound quality. In short, it's bad. Everything has been squashed to death through overuse of compression and limiting; the result is a midrange-heavy brick of sound that is just fine if your volume is set really, really low, but that seems overly bright and will quickly induce ear fatigue if listened to at more normal volume levels. When will mastering engineers wake up and realize that the purpose of re-mastering older recordings is to get the best possible sound out of the original masters, not necessarily to apply current production techniques without regard to the type of music or source material?

Find one of the earlier issues of this album and buy it used. Your ears will one day thank you.
