Review: THE COMMON ENGLISH BIBLE read by Various

I listened to an audio recording of this, which was available as a free download from christianaudio.com. Honestly, I still feel like I paid too much for it.

it isn't the recording quality. That's fine; it's neither stellar nor terrible, but just pretty good. It's the translation itself. Several years ago, a number of mainline denominations got together to produce a new Bible translation they could all use, with an emphasis on gender-neutrality 

This is the result, and it reads as much like a legal document as it does the word of God. I don't recommend it,
