The Goo Goo Dolls - Magnetic (HDTracks)

[Garf]

NOTE: HDTracks lists this a 24/48, this is actually 24/88.2

 

Having a CD of both A Boo Named Goo, and Dizzy Up the Girl that never made it to my lossless music library, I decided to purchase this album for one reason.

 

I want to support bands/labels that release music that isn't squashed to all hell. This album gives me hope that not all labels don't all have their heads up their arses when it comes to hires.

 

Well, two reasons. The songs 'Name' and 'Slide' are what I would consider my wife and i's songs, so this album is kind of a sentimental purchase.

 

Well, three reasons. It sounds good, and is a pretty decent album. It's the distinctive Goo Goo Dolls sound, vocals, guitars, to the pop melodies.

 

Compare the DR of the CD (an unlistenable DR 5) to this release.:
