So will my PVR be.

I have to say, Sam, this album is spot on!  I'm up to track 6, and they've all been excellent so far.   

[sam]

excellent! glad you are enjoying it.

[sam]

so did you enjoy the rest of the album ?

[Simon]

Yeah!  It was over surprisingly quickly, but I'll certainly be giving it more listens, which is more than I can say for many albums. 

[sam]

Excellent. Yeah, tis quite a short album - does the commute to work nicely though.

[Simon]

The last track is satisfyingly frantic!  I think it's probably the best album of that genre, since the last Green Day. 

[sam]

I'd agree with that. I quite like it. Not a bad ending - but makes you want more.

[Simon]

Indeed, but if their previous albums are all screamy, I might be put off.

[sam]

hmmm... they aren't too screamy but then again I tend to listen to that. I'll take another listen later. Of course I could just recommend some of their other better tracks instead of the album, you know the way music is supposed to be going... no one having albums anymore. 

[Simon]

I still like albums.  I'd go back to vinyl if I could.  Much warmer sound, and those wonderful gatefold sleeves made you feel like you'd actually bought something worth having. 

[sam]

lol. I see your point. Though the warmer sound, is that just down to the equalisation made by the sound kit?

[Simon]

Not really sure, Sam.  I've never had a proper expensive turntable, but audiophiles will tell you that they sound better than CDs any day.

[sam]

hmmm. I wonder at what bitrate the digital wins.
