Music 4 stars - Sound 1 Star 2 Stars bottom line. There simply is difficult to penetrate under the sound-mash of musical quality. Unfortunately, the production was a victim of the so-called "Loudness War". In counterproductive delusion, everything (to put it simply, to a consistently high volume) to maximum loudness to trim the pieces was the important musical element taken momentum. To achieve this goal actually unnatural, the production was (not to be confused with data compression in MP3) completely driven by excessive compression of the audio level on the wall and thus sounds monotonous, tedious and nerve-wracking at the same time as well. Here in any case the opportunity was lost to an outstanding CD. The music was destroyed by the production. I envy anyone who can live with it. But to me the pleasure of the CD is denied, it is difficult for me listenable. Lack of dynamism and constant distortions make the disc a misery, I have the CD returned. Hopefully the music industry's eyes will eventually open and it is again produced reasonable ..., otherwise eventually remain the customers away pay money for music. Incidentally, the CD has a dynamic range value of 4-7, the first CD by Toni Braxton in 1993 had a value of 9-11. (Phonetically they are worlds apart) PLEASE COMPLETE THE LOUDNESS WAR !!!
