CD Reviews

An excellent idea, but suffers from over-compression.

R. Decrescenzo | NY | 12/02/2008

(3 out of 5 stars)

"It's really tiring, listening to the newly mastered CDs and noticing they don't sound as good as even the early mastered CDs.

I end up keeping *both* versions, and listen to the original normally. If I want to hear the 'special fatures' that the remasters have, then and only then do I put them on.

Looking at the wave forms on these CDs (as with most of the newly remastered CD), you see plenty of clipping. I really wish the record companies would quit this line of thinking that 'louder is better'. It ruins so many great additions to these CDs.

'The Singles' is a wonderful recreation of all the original singles that Duran Duran put out. I would recommend it highly for anyone who followed them early in their career as I had. Again, I just wish they hadn't compressed the music. Admittedly, it's not as bad as some others I've heard/seen, but there's still no reason for it."
