"Exile on Main St has often been described as a dark, murky--even muddy-sounding album. And I've always loved it for exactly what it is. While sound quality does vary between tracks, I've found the the Artisan cut original vinyl to be just right--organic, exciting and dynamic on some cuts, and dark, mysterious and swampy on others. So, while I approached the remastered vinyl with an open mind, I wasn't looking for any significant departures from the original.
Unfortunately, this remastered vinyl doesn't come close to the original Artisan vinyl. The primary problem is that it sounds too loud and compressed. Good records, including the Artisan original of this one, beg the listener to turn them up--and they continue to sound better. This remaster does the opposite. From the start of the record, Rocks Off sounds too loud and lacks the dynamics of the original.
Songs like Happy, Tumbling Dice, and Soul Survivor sound harsh, and at times border on sibilant. Even Loving Cup, which never fails to give me goosebumps when the drums come in, falls flat on this remaster, due to the lack of dynamics. Acoustic and simpler compositions, such as Ventilator Blues, Sweet Virginia, and the intro to Let it Loose, fare slightly better--but they still don't have the same ambiance and natural sound to the piano, guitars and drums found on the original Artisan."
Hmm... Penge ud af vinduet så.
