good songs bad sound quality

Review Score: (6/10)
I bought this cd with the new Limp Biskit album. Obviously these are very different bands. LB's cd had crisp clear sound with good bass, while the U2 cd sounded flat and monotone. Whoever did the sound engineering should be fired. Except for the last two songs, I thought I was listening to a cassette player. I have a rather expensive stereo system and was very disappointed with this quality. At a time where high quality MP3 and MP4 music competes with traditional CD music, they should be doing more to make the CDs alternative look attractive.

As for the songs, they're the same old songs that are overplayed on the radio except for a couple that are pretty bad. I don't know why I bought it, it didn't even have ONE on it. I wonder why!
