It doesn't help that the population is growing in trying to make sense of these statistics, either.

Sad Wings of Destiny
OK - to anybody who was thinking of getting the re-issue of Judas Priest's Sad Wings of Destiny after seeing my post: DON'T!
I gave it a listen. I'm pretty sure it's been remastered digitally or something because a lot of it sounds terrible on the high-end. My dusty and scratchy 1976 record sounds a lot better than the 180 gram vinyl re-issue. The only song that's been improved by the remaster, in my opinion, is "Dreamer/Deceiver," which takes a lot for me to say because that's always been my favorite song on that album. The bass sounds a lot tighter and fuller and it just rounds out the song, but the high-end is outright deadly on other parts of the album, even when compared with the original.
The other thing that kinda bothered me about this reissue is that it's soft, even for a record, and quieter than the original.
I hate to say it, but I'll take the CD version over this re-issue, if someone were on the fence about purchasing this album.
Judas Priest's old record label, Gull, has done some shady stuff like this in the past and I ought to have known better. This re-issue was put out by Koch records, but I should have figured they'd try to bank in on the 180 gram vinyl thing.
As for the new Guns N' Roses double LP, I'm still rockin' it and would recommend it to any fan of hard rock.

Human interaction is missing, for the most part, in digital.
You listen to a CD or MP3 but you experience Vinyl. There's nothing like it, from the moment you hold an LP in your hands to checking out that huge cover art and then actually mounting it on the platter, watching it spin while a needle picks up the sound off those grooves, while having total control.
Well put. That's what I've been trying to say all along in my threads. Thanks.
