Vinyl just sounds slightly deeper and warmer, not quite as harsh on the ears as digital

If your digital sounds harsh to your ears you've got a shitty setup.

No it doesnt

just going off what I saw in a that bassweight dubstep documentary, in a club, the guys like "with digital everytime that a hi hat hits, it feels like an icepick in your eardrums"

I don't mind digital, although it is true that vinyl sounds nice and warm

He talked about how people didn't have it mastered so when it was played it a club it never sounded right. I bet most of it is placebo, if i gave you a WAV & a vinyl i doubt you would notice straight away.

It was the first thing I saw when I opened the box set.

I could at least notice because of the little crackles and stuff, I've compared a digital file and a vinyl sound and I can definitely hear a difference in my KRKs

The sheet of paper gives you the website. it's like vinyl.brownswoodlp.com or something.

Why is that a complaint? That was one of my favourite things about it, I can listen to it at lower volumes and still feel the weight
because at medium to higher volumes, the low end is overwhelmingly loud. i know, we all like bass, but there is such a thing as just too much of it (relative to the other frequencies)

I don't really find that it's drowning anything else out...

maybe it's a tad exaggerated, but the bass is louder than about any other record in my collection.

it's not to the point that it's unlistenable, i mean it's still a really nice and pleasant sounding album. just something that definitely caught my ear.

I thought the same thing when i burned a copy to listen to in the car. Way too loud. The later tracks on the album seem to chill out a bit, but the first half or more is just mixed waaay too bass heavy. I rarely need to adjust my sub level in my car, with this i have to turn it down to literally one click above "off". Maybe a good choice for playing out on weaker systems (bass compensation), bad choice for overall album quality.

But apart from that, yes I think this albums pretty great music-wise.
