no idea how this can be described as murky.

murky is something like early rolling stones recordings.

or hendrix 4 track demos.

the black album is fine for an album recorded in the late 80s.

My longstanding theory is everyone has a problem with the "CD masters" when it's really how they were recorded/produced.

I read a great Hoffman forums audio review where it was like "eh I thought the remaster lacked in certain spots then I put on the originals and realized those spots were already present in every prior release..." I think it's because he liked to push those kickdrums as high as possible in the mix and then actual basslines are low as possible...

I no longer agree...after hearing this new SOTT remaster, I say the original recording is great.

Was TBA a bestseller?

I some ways: yes...

So why the hesitation?
