Sounds flat and lifeless, and lots of sibilance on the vocals. Sleeve says Scorpio Music, Inc., which is notorious for mastering from CD. Why Universal Music, presumably the owner of the master tape, would contract out to such a company is beyond me. Avoid!

It does not sound as good as the CD in my opinion. The CD has more punch and a fuller sound.
