Sonics (S): |
After listening to this SACD (stereo layer only), I have to agree with the previous review regarding the sound of the drums. Which vocals and other instruments are crisp and clearly presented in the mix, I can't help but feel that the drums are mixed too low and that they lack some "umph." In fact, for all of the albums I bought (Duke, ...And Then There Were Three & Abacab), I found myself investigating the DTS surround mixes (which I almost NEVER do) in search of something a little bit extra out of the low end.
I also agree with the previous reviewer regarding the dynamics. Perhaps I expected the breathtakingly real dynamics that I have experienced on other remastered SACDs, but these new mixes just don't deliver those goods. That is not to say that they don't sound excellent because they do...they just don't register as high as some others out there that I have heard.
All of this being said, I am picking nits here. If you a fan of Genesis, pick this SACD up immediately if you haven't done so already...you won't be disappointed.
