I realize this is the Electrical board, but.

Shellac.

It's the most true of all the albums I can think of; the guitar tones just need to have high SPL to sound right.

Beat me to it. Especially "Mama Gina" and "Song of the Minerals."

Also, a demo version of the song "Dutch Courage" by Rapeman, and "Songs About Fucking" in its entirety.

Sonic Youth Sister.

Fantomas The Director's Cut.

And, every good album ever.

I remember the first time I heard the Nine Inch Nails 'Fixed' EP (remixes from 'Broken' EP)...

I was staying with my buddy Stevie in Waukegan there... I was still sorta sleeping in, while he was grabbing a shower, and I guess to be a rude bastard to wake me up (and to be able to hear his jamz over the noise of the shower) he had that shit cranked MAX on a fairly boomin' system.

As I emerged from slumberland, I felt really disoriented and didn't know what the fuck was going on... felt like the whole fuckin' house was about to come down around my ears. Nice effect.

I've listened to that EP since at normal or "kinda loud" volumes and just thought "meh"...
but just that one time, at that fucking VOLUME - good grief, it was something else.

So yeah, I'd say that one gets better as you turn the volume up.

Ever listen to Bad Timing with the volume up? There are a few moments on that record that will make you jump out of your seat in a "YIKES that loud fucking trumpet came out of nowhere" kind of way.

I've just got a new tube audio amp and a nice turntable and big speakers.

My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" on full blast sounds excellent!

Fuck CD's. Two years without a good vinyl system has conditioned me into accepting inferior sound quality. No more.
