Gardner’s style is to compress music to the point of distortion, in order to make it sound louder.

We are so back

Same exact thing happened with mine too :frowning:

Could be carriers issues due to current war?
Lately ppl using Buyee or similars are having issues with shippments too, though it was mostly using EMS I think.

Unpopular Opinion, i prefer Tue Madsen Mastering than Gardner.

Regarding the shipment issues:

CDJapan’s explanation is that there was a system error, so the packages were sent back to them. They will reship them “for no additional cost” but it will take “a while”

sooo yeah

That fuckin sucks.

At least they weren’t stolen! I was starting to worry about that

I finally understand Mortal Downer now.

that sucks. maybe it has to do with the duplicate tracking numbers?

mine was also marked as a duplicate on the FedEx site

It really blows my mind that they won’t just do a full album with Jens Bogren. Is he too expensive???

this sounds fine though

Erroneous ones, at that
