Probably the noisiest CD I've ever heard. Not a bad release, but not as good as later re-re-releases on CD format as it definitely has a very thin sound to it. It's also lacking in just a general hutzpa in of areas like bass or mids. This causes most of the vocals to get buried in the mix of backing instruments in most if not all the tracks. Like seriously just try to understand what words he's saying in "Cross-eyed Mary" without the lyrics in front of you. I have both the Vinyl and CD (same Chrysalis release/mix) and personally hated this LP-based version of the album due to it's carbon-copy weakness of being a early CD release. Many of these (Who's Next comes to mind) just copy and paste whatever the vinyl sounded like (warts and all). The remixes from 2011, the newer restored releases of Aqualung all sound unbelievably cleaner and punchier all around. This is a version I would avoid.

One of the first releases on CD (1984) in the USA for Chrysalis, this production is more inline with the original vinyl mix, mastering and artwork. My personal favorite sounding production, for it reminds me of the record.
