I agree Prisoner sounds compressed but fun if you play it LOUD.True, Heartbreaker is very good. Ashes and Fire on a sonic stand point is quite a bit better sounding imo.
I love Demolition. Sonically, Prisoner blow chunks of compression and bass bloat - terrible.
Carnegie Hall gig is one of my go too live albums for sound quality and perhaps my fave Ryan album now.
Saw him live once and was underwhelmed, he just made it all seem so easy with little effort and little visible emotion. Maybe a bad night.
Cheers
