Received a new set of the UYI's and AFD today after the usual wear and tear. Listened to I all the way through and discovered that the end of Coma had this fuzzy sound going in the background. Then I played II and it had the same shit, only it went all the way from Estranged to My World.

Took a look at the discs, brand new. As smooth a surface as they could be. In fact, I've had several CD's recently doing this. Up till now I thought it was just me mishandling them. Then I took a look at the front and see a glaring FBI-will-put-you-in-the-chair-if-you-copy (yeah, fuck you too NWO).

So what is this, some kind of new breed of CD's you can't play? Anybody had similar experiences?

None of the cds I bought this year had any of these problems. I didn't buy many, so maybe its easy for me to not have any of these issues. Also, none of the cds I bought were old albums.

The discs I've had problems with are UYI I&II and Exile On Main Street by the Stones. Just played Mars Voltas album from earlier this year (bought from the same store, same FBI threats on the front) and that one worked just fine, so it could be an old albums combined with copy protection issue. On Exile too the fuzzing starts at the end of the disc. Going to check out AFD now.

I haven't noticed anything like this. If you're having the problem with multiple discs, maybe your lens needs cleaning. I dunno.. just trying to cover all bases.

My player is 5 years old, so that could very well be. I'll try playing them on a newer one when I get the chance.
