RE: Heavy Metal Productions Compared To Mainstream Music Today

After spending a long time in school involvement and music etc., today these old "heavy metal" albums don't hold up.

Then when you find out there's no SA-CD version for Super Hi-Def Audio version for any heavy metal music and you can see why.

1970's and 1980's hits like Abba and Michael Jackson have a full clear defined high definition format on today's players.

Transferring these songs over to that format and it's probably missing 2/3 of the act.

Then today's Death Metal bands have a supposed two week studio time to record an album.

It's getting pretty clear then seeing all that today that this stuff is never going to come out long term on a hi def audio player.

I mean the work to take those 2/3 albums and transfer them to hi def just isn't there, I mean you're looking at a total album re-construction to put on the SA-CD format but I think for most old metal albums it just isn't happening.

Now all those '70's and '80's metal albums just look like demos to me with most of the sound missing, I guess you'll have to wait awhile yet to get a full definition metal act.

I can imagine in the future many of these albums will be taken and then "re-recorded" or "re-dubbed" to add the missing parts to transfer the songs to Super Audio.

I mean by the time someone did that, they could have made it their own pop hit cover song version...so don't have too much hope for heavy metal on super audio these days.
