Absolute, unlistenable rot at DR5. A travesty. Okay, so the music is 'laid back', insomuch as the drummer nary breaks a sweat, so a result of DR10 isn't too bad. A doubling in dynamic range is needed to enjoy the music. Who makes these decisions? Why do they hate the music, the artists and the consumers so much? Why can't they release a Producer's ProTools version as well as a mastered version? .
