Overkill‘s new album, Ironbound, is now out in the US.
Yesterday I visit the iTunes Music Store to buy it. Purchase. Download. Listen…. hey this is good. What’s that noise? Popping? crackling? static? WTF? let’s try the next track? It’s worse! next track? more of the same. Crap! Every track has some sort of noise on it! That’s a let-down, but unacceptable.
Use the in-app “report a problem” on those tracks. This morning I receive an email that the order is still in process and my report has been flagged for a later follow-up, which could be 3 more days until it happens.
*sigh*
I don’t want a refund, I want tracks that are crystal clear.
Oh well. Meantime I’ve still listened to the album and tried to ignore the noise. The album is good. I’m liking it. “Ironbound” is good. “Bring Me the Night”. “The Goal Is Your Soul” is cool. Really, I’m digging the whole album. Hopefully iTMS will properly fix things.

And people wonder why I bought it on CD when it went on sale… 😛
Depending how iTMS resolves the problem, I may take the refund and go buy the physical disc.
Despite that tho, the album is awesome. Been listening to it almost non-stop.
