 That is the loudest CD I have ever heard!  My wife always makes me turn it
 down no matter how low the volume is set on my hi-fi.  And yes, a lot of it
 is distorted .... but it sounds great.   So great in fact, that it makes
 one wonder why David Bowie did such a poor job mixing it for release in the
 70s. >>

I agree. It is LOUD and sounds great.  Actually though I prefer the tinny, 
peircing Bowie mix.  To me it sounds to trashy and haphazard and I love it.
