The sound of this recording lacks a bit the low end. Clarity and crispness are very good but the vocals could be more prominent. The guitars come through very clearly. The bass drum sounds slightly distorted. Audience noise is present but mostly restricted to the beginning and the ends of the songs. "Pride" sets in shortly before the first chorus and sounds muddy for the first 20 seconds. Remarkable: the cover of David Bowie's Jean Genie.
