No disagreement with Werd, other than it isn't garbage. IMO, etc.
Compressed (yes but not awful), forward (yes), unlistenable (no). The vocals are way more forward as is the overall soundstage compared to the 2 CDs I own of the LZ IV and HOH. I prefer the new rendition, but not by much. There is added clarity, vocals are more up front and intelligible, but that is about it. Worth the money???
LZ IV is much better than HOH, IMO.
