No Code doesn't have much of a decent dynamic range going on as it is.

Sometimes --> Hail, Hail and Off He Goes --> Habit both prove this statement wrong, at least to my ears. Never looked at a wav form, though.

The music at the end of Present Tense is some of the best ever recorded by the band. Lots going on with it that would also prove that wrong.

It's on pair with the last 2 records.

I think we need to parse the data...

No Code: http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/87508
Lightning Bolt: http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/61172

It shows that No Code has an album dynamic range of 7, and LB has a range of 8, but all that means is that LB's quietest and loudest parts are effectively one db larger than No Code's. But look at the actual track comparisons. The first six tracks on LB are nearly identical in volume and dynamic range, while the first half of No Code shows a lot more variety in volume levels:

You'll need both hands free for this.

(I'm not suggesting my balls are huge, just that they've begun to sag an awful lot as I've gotten older).

It's Bob Ludwig. They will be brickwalled as shit. (He brickwalls almost everything he touches, then blames the label/artist/whoever for "asking him to" brickwall it.)

Asshole's ruined more than his fair share of releases in the last fifteen years. (His horrific remaster of Nevermind should be considered a war crime.)

what would brickwalling do to No Code?

genuine question..i hate how ST sounds if thats any guide

It would make it sound more like ST.

I bet you took your Star Wars toys out of their boxes too.

I've still got my Yield and No Code LPs but might get the 7"s. Hopefully they give Hail, Hail a vinyl release.
