After listening to the Boss for over 30 years I was very dissapointed in the production of this latest album. I actually got up to check if a "High Cut" switch was on by mistake. The over all sound is muddy and muffled on the 180 gram vinyl pressing. After speaking with our local independant record store owner; thinking that it was just a crappy pressing from Columbia Records, I find out that this "producer" is responsible for this audio dud. What a shame, the songs are wonderful but everything is buried under a layer of cotton. I've listened to other songs from the album on Sirius Radio and they sound the same. What a drag. I recently got the Hammersmith Live CD and what a difference, clean, clear and bright. So buyer beware. Peace.
