Comments by "Kevin Hicks" (@Hickalum) on "TOP 40 GREATEST SOUNDING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME" video.

  1. Avalon sounds slightly ‘dull’ to me compared to its 21st century digital offspring, which I would say is Till the sun turns black by Ray Lamontagne which Ric did include in the list.

  2. High Life definitely ticks the box for sound quality.

  3. The first Sabbath album was very good sound quality … not least due to the lack of overdubbing, over compression and overproduction.

  4. The first Sabbath album is a good recording and there’s a remastered version which is quite superb.

  5. Ray Lamontagne … Yes, a very good inclusion. Superb sound quality and, to me the early albums are less than perfect in the timing, which gives them a great laid back feel.

  6. From 1977 “Show Some Emotion” by Joan Armatrading. Great clarity of recording - miles better than anything that comes out today. From 2011 ‘The Aristrocrats” cuz there’s no overdubs … Just a trio on fire.

  7. I’m not sure Sledgehammer is the best example though … It sounds overlayered and I can clearly hear the ‘join’ at two edits.

  8. The Aristocrats by the Aristocrats has superb clarity and definition … Not least because there’s no overdubbing or double tracking that I can hear.

  9. From 1985, Promise. The second album from the singer with the X-rated voice, Sade. Basically recorded live in the studio.
