Ah, that is exactly what I'm talking about.

The guitars sound fine to me, it's only the crash and ride cymbals that bug me. I swear that it sounds like compression artifacts, but as you discovered, when you play the CD directly, you hear the same thing.

Great album, though.

Anyway, how would you describe the sound of the cymbals? To me, they sound distorted and crackly. Sort of a kakkk kakkk kakkk instead of a splash splash splash. It's subtle, it's not obvious like a blown tweeter would be.
