First the problem: Dynamic compression. But you know, it's less compressed than a lot stuff I see. Mostly the transients. It gets quieter and louder overall than most bands.
Alright, if that didn't deter you then go ahead and buy, because this album is a force of catchy melodies, excellent singing from a unique-sounding singer, and slamming guitar work, not to mention the choirs used to epic effect. Almost every track is a winner, so you're getting a complete album, not filler.
