Man, listening to Stories after a while really drives home how much grander, lovelier, and more unique it was compared to the last two.

Hm, maybe that's not fair. I think the highs are higher, though.

And lol now I'm listening to Visuals again and thinking it's really good pop-rock, despite the mastering.

the mastering doesn't sound that offensive to me, and certainly not at St Anger levels

+/- was mastered pretty loud too

Yeah, I had the same problem with +/-. Simon, what format are you listening on? In both cases, I bought these from iTunes.

After a few listens I think this is their most consistent album. Pretty strong all the way through

Nice little set but mostly disturbingly similar to the studio versions.

On my CD version of Visuals I didn't notice any compression problems, it sounds wonderful.
Was thinking this that is where they take a slight step down but I'm not sure. Perhaps on a par with Frengers but not as good as Kites, Stories and +/-? It's a lot subtler, I was worried about the poppiness taking over too much but perhaps I needn't have, although I do miss some of the dynamism that only really takes center stage on track 3 on this album.
"I am a quiet light chaser
aint I painful?
it's already nightfall"
Nobody mentioned "Twist Quest"! obvious highlight for me.
Is there any male rock vocalist who has a sweeter and more adorable voice?

Saw them play all of Frengers live a few weeks back in front of an absolutely adoring Danish audience. That album is like 'Funeral' or 'Turn On the Bright Lights' for us. It dips in the middle though, but they played a few hits before they got to the main event, which meant they played five songs that went Special, Zookeepers Boy, Am I Wry, 156, Snow Brigade. That was pretty good!

is there a band x with philharmonic s/d thread somewhere? feel like it's a concept that can go both ways
