Music is great, quality rather less

When I first heard River flows in you on the radio, it was clear: The CD must be found.
After the first hearing came the disillusionment; the CD does not have good sound quality.
I tested the CD. Both in my Cowon X7 and in my Linn system
I'll write probably once universal and ask if this is intentional, or if my CD is wrong.
Because here one has written that at least the MP3 version also sounds bad, it will probably not be my CD, but be a fundamental problem.
Too bad, the music itself is amazing.
