Brandon Flowers - The Desired Effect mp3 download

Decent pressing. Although pressed very quietly, once you turn the volume up the music is full and vibrant. The vocals ocassionally sound slightly off, almost crunchy, it’s possible that this wasn’t properly de-essed. The song “Never Get You Right” sounds like it’s low end is mastered lower than on the rest of the album, every time it comes on, I find myself having to turn up the subwoofer to make it sound the way it should.The sleeve is excellent. A heavyweight single pocket gatefold jacket. Inside the gatefold are the lyrics and a collage of polaroids of Brandon that are pretty great. The record is housed in a standard white paper sleeve.If you’re a fan of this excellent album, I wouldn’t let the minor sound issues deter you, as they’re few and far between. Still it would be nice if his label would put the time and care into properly mastering a vinyl record.
