Sound Quality
This CD is the ultimate test of your systems capabilities. Most of the tracks are very bass heavy. Wimpy amps and speakers need not be played with this CD unless you want to put them out of their misery. "Jesus to a Child" has such a pleasant tonal balance that really allows the listener to hear the subtle details of George's vocals and background instruments. "Fastlove", "Hard Day" and "Faith" will rock your house, especially if you have a multi-channel surround system with all speakers set large. The bass slam and impact is second to none with respect to music CD's. It even rivals some DTS CD's in this regard. If you want to get funky or at least show off your systems capabilities to a friend, or annoy a neighbor, get this CD. I highly recommend it.
