(Note: It's to be expected that any Adult versus Kyoiku debate will eventually boil down to a Phase 1 Versus Phase 2 debate)

Muzai Moratorium with often the same instrumentation, sounds thicker, smoother, and clearer, whether the particular MM track has more instruments or less.

Dynamite Out! with the exact same instrumentation, sounds better, and I'm not just talking about the performance itself.

What listening equipment are you using to deduce that the recordings/mixes of Kyoiku are just the fault of the instruments? It sounds thin and dry more than it sounds rough, like somebody grabbed it off the radio. I have to preserve these particular tracks in lossless, because if you put them in 320kbps MP3, they sound like 64kbps WMA samples from Toshiba-EMI's website. It's a total letdown. Phase 1 fans have been complaining about it since before Adult even came out, despite how much they love the music of Phase 1.

And then the new fans get introduced to the lush recordings of Adult, and Phase 1 fans can't help but wonder if the success of Adult has more to do with the recordings than the music. The point we try to emphasis is that if we prefer Kyoiku, the only thing to love about it is the music, therefore Phase 2 fanboys are "naive", "unscholared in the ways of music", etc..
