The band is playing great and the sound is not muffled at all. The guitars rip out of the speakers. Muffled is Ladies and Gentlemen 1972Quote
StonedRamblerI can relate to that. I guess when it came out it was truly spectacular because it was one of the first times you could listen to a whole rock concert on record. And this was the best the Stones have been yet at the time. But I also feel like from todays point of view it's not like you would expect a live recording to sound like.Quote

'Get Yer Ya-Yas Out' – I just don't get what people see in it! That record just sounds bad, muffled sound etc.
So while I like to listen to it now an then for me it's not the holy grail that people claim it to be.

Pet Sounds! The hype is beyond my understanding. Aftermath, released the same year, is artistically a far superior album. Still it has never received the cred it deserves ...

ALL Radiohead. Self absorbed crap
ALL Pink Floyd. Pretentious crap
Well, they're both self-absorbed and pretentious, truthfully. Whether they're 'crap' is debatable. I like some of the music released by both group's, though, again, like with Springsteen, there's a mental block at play.
You say Springsteen is “too” American. Yet his writing about unemployment issues, immigration, police brutality, welfare, love, dreams, violence, cars, veterans affairs, industrialisation, politics, gangs, sentimentalism .. to me, even as an Australian, they’re universal. I hear and feel everything he writes about. He’s from New Jersey. I’m from Perth. As far away as it’s possible to be geographically.

Oh yeah. He is such a good musician but his singing and his face expressions always seem so pretended and forced so me. Like a white man really trying hard to feel the blues.Quote
