lekguan 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Just got a copy of "life for rent" as well. Yes slow music. vocals stand out from music. I haven't heard any crackles, but it does sound less compressed as compared to many other albums, possibly because of the slow music and vocal-rich, soft-music tracks. Nice album. Not good for relieving stress though ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tropicalrips 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 i think the crackles r done on purpose...make it sound like an old record, i only hear it when the backing vocals kick in, but could be wrong head it first on my MP3 player , thought it was from a bad rip, but hear it again on the original disc as well i agree with blues that No Angels sounds better...more pure??

lekguan 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 yeah thy are on purpose. Anyone has the same problem with me? Ok, on track 11, after the song is over, it continues playing (silence). At 7:09, another song comes out. the song is entitled "closer" It is not stated on thje album or whatsoever. Awkward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lekguan 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 yeah i think its a hidden track. I listen to the first line of lyrics and searched on google, returning only 1 result, with title "closer" Hmm.... wonder what's up the sleeves of dido's recording company.

Blues 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2003 hm hidden track? my moffats' first album also has it.. but the song not nice one maybe try doing reverse-tracking and see if there's any hidden message Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lengcm 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Hmmm hidden track.... Did not have the chance to listen to the whole album even thought I have the CD. Track 2 is my favourite followed by 5 and 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheebangpoopoo 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 reverse tracking makes me think of "little nicky" anyway, dido's voice is quite piercing at times. overall, i found the cd great... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
