HiRez Poll Depeche Mode - VIOLATOR [SACD]

[Titch]

Out of all the Depeche Mode SACDs with multichannel 5.1 mixes, this the only one that I keep playing again and again. One of my favourite multichannel discs, out of the 500 I have in my library. A 10.

I think this disc is overcompressed. "Sweetest Perfection" in particular sounds like it's struggling. Some weird EQ choices, though I suppose that respects the original. A score of 8.

Yeah, this 5.1 mix just sounds weird to me. Great album, but I'd like to hear a new master/mix.
