Oops, my bad (partially).
I was listening to a high-quality VBR MP3, so later I grabbed the actual CD,
threw it in the car CD player, and I've never heard such a difference.
I still maintain that it's too loud and clips a bit, but I hereby upgrade my
opinion from "terrible" to "recommended with reservations" and resolve to
switch back to FLAC for my mobile music needs...
