Bark will always be my fav, 13 yr old me played that album to death when it came out. Followed closely by Blizzard & Diary

of course it's personal opinions. I'm sure some techy person would explain that a cd has some better frequency response or something, but they didnt sound better, simple as. How vinyl sounds now I can't comment on as not bought vinyl since 1987.

just referring to my own experience mate. i had 100s of albums on vinyl and basically rebought them all on CD. Just an easier medium to play and store. Did the cds sound better. No. Not in my opinion. The vinyl had a richer more open sound with much more depth. The CDs sounded clear as a bell but more compressed in some way. Anyway everyone hears something different. Hell I listen to compressed as fuck audio on a smartphone now lol. The things we do for convenience.

absolute bollox being written here about vinyl. Hook it up on the right system and it's the best deepest ballsiest sound you can achieve. I used to have Rega 2 turntable and a Creek amp and it sounded immense. Also you could barely detect crackle. Now come the difficult bits .... ITS A PAIN IN THE ARSE. ITS EXPENSIVE. I'll never go back. BUT it's the best pure listening experience. No doubt

glad to report 90 sec samples on Apple music sound excellent. Much more in line with what I loved about II

agree

interesting to revisit this 6 years on. Those 5 and white widdow are still the 6 I would be most inclined to play still. I think now tho it would be : 1. WoA 2. Vega 3. HEAT 4. White Widdow 5. Seven based purely on play count Top 3 are by far my most played albums from that year

last world cup game

such hardships you faced

nor can u Here's a promise - no one post is this thread again and you will never hear another peep out of me about covid ever again ever in yr entire life. let's see if Geoff & co can resist moaning about something else. I bet anything you want they can't resist replying You watch.............. and yet you blame me...... let's see. 100% they reply......

been on my mobile for at least 10 years. No idea on stats. It is now officially the most boring topic in history. Especially Geoff moaning about wearing a mask 😷

fantastic match, correct result imo. Great to see Messi ending his international career on the ultimate high. 👏

yeah we had a standard 90 mins set. Great stuff

I fully agree it's a cold now. 100% I've been saying that for weeks on here. What is different between Aus & UK is that in UK the health system was at the brink of collapse and 2000 people a day were dying. Yes, fact. MORE THAN ANY OTHER CAUSE OF DEATH ALL PUT TOGETHER. fact. That didn't happen in Australia so I can see why you will never understand it. But people were genuinely scared at the time. However things have changed now , the virus is just a bad cold now, there is no need for any restrictions or any more at all or boosters imo. And after nearly 100 pages of discussing this it's got just a teeny bit boring 😴

asks for link, gets crackpot opinion of some Fox news presenter 🤣🤣

interesting. Even the mandate for health workers was abandoned here back in Feb 22. Completely optional now

I'd be very interested to know if ANY other country apart from Australia has mandated boosters? Pretty much I don't know anyone now in UK getting the booster except my parents who are in their 80s. its just a bad cold now. its over, done.

Well every other country in the world opened up once they reached a certain level of vaccine rollout. Problem was yr country was about 9 months behind everyone else.

horseshit.

sorry mate, but not a lot of that happened in the UK. I'm sorry you live in obviously such a shit country 😔

Well we lost our freedoms, but we've got them all back. Best way to live life is to have a little faith mate 👍

didn't help

what most Australians moan about is how their liberties were stripped of them by lockdowns and restrictions. This was almost entirely due to a disastrous vaccine rollout. Probably the worst of any country in the world. By July 21 nearly 90% in uk had received a dose, Australia had barely started. Mandatory or not. this is the reason why Aus has been suffering nearly a year longer than the UK in terms of restrictions

if you're government hadn't ditched a perfectly safe vaccine, you'd have opened up when we did and all this would be history 😉 Fact is your government had the worst vaccine rollout performance of virtually any country in the world and you're all still whining and bitching about it.
