General Comments:
2, 5 and 6 are perfect as far as I can tell.  1 is very close to perfect.  On the other hand, 3 and 4 are rather bad.  In the ones that were ABXable, all were most easily differentiated by the preecho in the drums at the beginning.

3L Rating: 2.2
3L Comment: There is a airy swirly sound around the singer's voice.  Also, there is a noticeable preecho in the drums at the beginning.  It's not too annoying unless I'm looking for it though.  However, the guitar (esp. in the right channel) is all warbly and metallic, which is fairly annoying.  It sounds like an leprechaun is making love to the whammy bar.

4R File: Sample09\MidnightVoyage_anch.wav
4R Rating: 1.3
4R Comment: In addition to massive preecho in the drums, the voice is distorted in a rather ugly way.  I don't think the guitar is as bad as #3, but the rest more than makes up for it.  She sounds like she's singing into a tin canoe.
