Mudcrutch - 2008 - TQMP slavetothesound

-- A High Fidelity release from The Quality Music Project -- This is the new Tom Petty album, but instead of playing with The Heartbreakers, this time he's playing with the band that he hasn't played with since 1975 (Mudcrutch) and they make a pretty solid album. Highly recommended to any fan of Tom Petty! The case is one of those paper tri-folding cases, so hopefully no one has trouble figuring out how it goes together. I'm not really sure how you'd print that off for a jewel case though. And the album includes no booklet. Brought to you by TQMP. (The Quality Music Project) In this project me and my fellow pirates share only quality items out of our CD collections in lossless FLAC and include covers, especially for those who like to burn and print and put it in a nice and shiny jewelcase. Well, you all know the drill :) Ripped with EAC To check out all TQMP uploads: http://thepiratebay.se/user/breezin/ http://thepiratebay.se/user/pastafari/ http://thepiratebay.se/user/slavetothesound/ Or use the TQMP searchtag. Please feel free to join TQMP! The "rules" are simple: Rip your CD (no 1980's cassettetapes or vinylrips please!) in lossless format AND include artwork. Include the TQMP searchtag in your title, so it can easily be found. (Yes, on Google as well..) If you like lossless music, here is a group you can join to promote sound quality. And if you don't appreciate the sound quality of lossless music, go get yourself a new pair of speakers :) Bring back Hi-Fi!

MUCHAS GRACIAS!

Thank you for this FLAC encoding!
Mudcrutch does sound better than many current overly compressed albums, but still, a replaygain of ~ -7 puts it at right around the 1998 year level of CD loudness.
I'd be interested in hearing a FLAC rip of the CD that is included with the vinyl LP. Supposedly, that version doesn't have the additional loudness tweaks of the drums and vocals, so the replaygain values should be more audiophile-friendly and closer to what they would be from an actual vinyl LP.

Hmm, I wasn't aware when I bought this that there were 2 version or I would have gone for that one.. I'm going to watch for that though.
