I'm listening to it on Spotify (free) and the first track Cherokee sounds horribly compressed when the drums kick in.

It's like I'm listening to it on the radio with each bass beat seeming to kill the volume of the music completely around it. Same thing seems to be happening on track 2.

I really liked Ruin and but on the basis of this sound I'm not sure I could deal with the album. :( Maybe I'll see how much it is on vinyl and rip that...
