What the fuck happened to this place? 5 years ago this thread would have had 20 replies of pic related.
Asher Hernandez
Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase.
Cooper Edwards
Soen - Tellurian
Zachary Hernandez
Clarence Clarity - No Now. Crazy shit, probably some of the most densely layered (yet extremely catchy) production I've ever heard
Parker Wright
Bob Katz' honor roll
Julian Ortiz
Tool - 10,000 Days
Joseph Walker
...
Aiden Williams
Metallica - Metallica
Matthew Hall
Karnivool - Sound Awake
Zachary Lopez

Leo White
The Alan Parsons Project - Eye In The Sky
Jacob Phillips
...
Michael Perry
Random access memories
Daft punk
Isaiah Hill
Deep Purple - Stormbringer
Gabriel Lewis
The album isn't amazing but the production/mastering is godly.
Honourable mentions include
>The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
>Tool - Lateralus
>Everything Everything - Get To Heaven
>Tyler, The Creator - Flower Boy
There's more obviously but that's just what comes to mind (and what I've been bumping lately).
Elijah Cruz
aja
Nathaniel Lopez
Avey tare - down there (2010)
Brayden Gray
Rage Against the Machine were a bunch of talented dudes who made fucking awful music.
Matthew Green
Unironically Cornelius's Fantasma
Asher Wilson
sonically overrated, only memorable thing is the intro
Oliver Sanchez
Trentemoller - The Last Resort
Jack Fisher
absolutely patrician
Nicholas Russell
...
Ethan Gutierrez
he tried so hard to make it bad it turned out good
Colton Brown
true, point superior
Andrew Bailey
any band mostly composed of audio engineers is ideal for testing out a new audio setup, but this album takes the cake
Isaac Perez
Dude recorded it with a damn headset or something, how on earth is it one of the best produced albums of all time?
Luke Lee
got damn. the majority of these replies really shows Sup Forums's age. the correct answer is the steely dan discography
Evan Watson
Anything Clarence Clarity is a goldmine if you love maximalist prod.
Grayson Perry
Um, try again sweetie. TMS is my favorite, but BP is extremely crisp and well-produced.
Lincoln Anderson
Too bad Master of Reality sounds like shit
Jose Morris
Albums? Please. I'm afraid you've been hurled ears first into audiophile territory with that hardware. Go see what music CDs they have at your library. Discover a new genre or era of music.

That's just a piece I happen to like. I would also recommend the Ars Nova of the Rennaissance and that album Once by Nightwish. Some recordings will cost you an arm and a leg on vinyl, but you're no longer a music peasant. Lossy streaming simply won't do, those headphones deserve better.
Ian Campbell
This album and s/t have such a great sound. It's so simple and immediate, especially s/t, nothing on it feels over thought, which makes sense considering it was recorded in two days.
Jaxon Hall
The production on all their albums is fucking beyond compare
Asher Ross
By The Throat by Ben Frost
Kid A by Radiohead (or Sea Change by Beck)
Cosmogramma by Flying Lotus
Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Immunity by Jon Hopkins
Jose Scott
underrated
Robert Lee
Production is OK, but definitely not best over.
Angel Harris
Not an album, but I'd highly recommend this gem. Think it's Brian Wilson's best work desu.
Nolan Robinson
what is that set up?
Zachary Baker
Monolake - Cinemascope, anything
Biosphere - Cirque, anything
Ulrich Schnauss - Goodbye
Boards of Canada - Peel Session
Kraftwerk - Tour de France 2009 remaster
Teebee - Black Science Labs
Justin Edwards
file name
Chase Gonzalez
Orpheus with some tube amps it looks like. Not sure the amp model.
Cameron White
J Dilla donuts
Ian Young
production on this is not a strong point man
random access memories is like made especially for audiophiles
Hudson Rivera
It's so weird
Brandon Collins
all 16bit masters... get out of this thread
paris france transit in 32/768 is good
rutracker.org
nadia cassini in 32/192 sounds really good too
rutracker.org
Nathan Rogers
Yeah I don't actually know shit about audiophile listening, I just think that those records sound fantastic.
Perhaps you could enlighten me about the best technical qualities of a record / file format? Not being sarcastic
Luke Allen
OP here, it's something I got when I googled "Most expensive headphones"
I'm using these: amazon.com
Lincoln Gutierrez
Gridlock’s Pallid is how I check out any new speakers anywhere. That song is so cool on great systems.
Logan Foster
I have a pair of those, my favorite albums on the MSR7s specifically:
Antlers - Hospice
Arca - Arca
Art Blakey - Night in Tunisia
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Steely Dan - Gaucho
Burial - Untrue
Jacob Ward
Piper at the Gates of Dawn is probably a bit overrated in my opinion and is toploaded, but it sounds fucking amazing for an album made in 1967. I always test new headphones with it.
Adam Cruz
>Steely Dan - Gaucho
classic album for people with treble cannons...
Josiah Jenkins
two headed boy is the best song on the album
Ethan Adams
Don't be absurd.
Jaxon Flores
you gotta hear the bonus tracks in the 2016 remaster user...
Lucas Long
love the dual mono mixing on this...
Levi King
An audiophile is someone who spends thousands of dollars on stereo equipment and records to listen to live recordings of classical music and doesn't spend any damn money actually going to the symphony
Jack Howard
yea, it would sound better on a higher quality pair of headphones, but the MSR7s aren't that bad. goucho sounds a hell of a lot better on MSR7s than M50s.
Cameron Ward
Seal's first two albums
Colton Walker
>The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
laughing at you IRL
Julian Adams
I've heard some people hate the production on here though
Logan Ward
>Arca - Arca
fucking lol'd
Aaron Clark
Almost anything by NIN
Sebastian Kelly
This one perhaps?
Christian Lopez
...
Josiah Myers
Amon Tobin - ISAM
Xavier Torres
Not the greatest album ever but it's pristine as fuck
Jason Wright
1st thing i listened to on my 598SEs
was like listening to a completely new album
Bentley Howard
the wall
Levi Perez
This album was a surprise for me desu.
Camden Ortiz
Lil Peep
Brayden Parker
Rain dogs desu
Chase Baker
Listen to these people...
James Cooper
mate he said best produced albums. not over produced albums XD
Jaxson Torres
Sorry old man
Ethan Reyes
these
Jack Lopez
I never would have guessed Burial's Untrue is so well produced since a lot of it is samples from scratchy ass records.
Logan Baker
>The album isn't amazing but the production/mastering is godly.
Truer words have seldom been spoken. Just needs to be a pressing from the original masters. The remastered releases compress the fuck out of the production.
>Rage Against the Machine were a bunch of talented dudes who made fucking awful music.
But still better than just about anything that was spawned from the whole rap metal thing they were instrumental in starting.
Aiden Rivera
>But still better than just about anything that was spawned from the whole rap metal thing they were instrumental in starting.
Sure, but better than Limp Bizkit isn't hard.
Hunter Murphy

Tyler Cook
Nah, he used a headset mic for s/t
Juan Robinson
Sennheiser Orpheus. It shipped as a headphones + tube amp setup.
Aiden Myers
This.
Connor Adams
Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
The original mastering.
This is one of those albums that just nailed the production and didn't need ANY tampering, but still got it. The 2004 remaster/remix is such a travesty...
Austin Fisher

Camden Ross

John Richardson

Hudson Howard
How exactly is Hand. Cannot. Erase. "over produced"? It has top notch production and performance, executed flawlessly.
Jason Richardson
That's what he meant, it's perfected to the point it loses the bite that a rock album is supposed to have
Owen Mitchell
...
Hunter Perry
That Forrester Savell chap really knows what he's doing.
Can't wait for the new Skyharbor next year!
Evan Stewart
Holy fuck this board has gone to shit. This thread isn't about your shitty taste, it's about albums that are produced and mastered well.
>Steely Dan - compelte discography
>Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
>Dr. Dre - 2001
>Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
>David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
>Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
Evan Williams
Hi dad
Joseph Ward
Try harder. This has nothing to do with dad taste, it has everything to do with not being a dipshit that doesn't realize that digital mastering and the loudness wars in the 90's completely murdered hi-fi mastering and mp3s and iPod earbuds pissed on the grave.
Just so the baby can have his bottle:
>Radiohead - Hail To The Thief
>Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
