For a start, the quibbles we've lodged about compressed and muddy sound of the original downloads that were making the rounds should be set to one side --- there is indeed more clarity in the finished product. "End Games" and "In Excelsis" still sound like there are multiple Geordies playing (or, rather, stacked tracks of Geordieness), but Youth's bouncy, sproinging bass is very much represented on the finished product. And it is good.
