the original is mastered fine, this sounded worse (just overly boosted) to me.

It's all due to the loudness war. They're making tracks as loud as possible then they're using compressors to avoid distortions. what we hear as a final product is pumping bassdrums and basslines with some highs. I'm not afraid to say that people who are mastering songs nowadays deprive us of at least 50% of sound of the original unmastered song. For people who have no music taste or at least ear to the music this situation seems ok...they can bump this shit in their car and feel delighted hearing it and thinking how fucking monstrous the bassdrum is... but music is not all about the fucking bassline. it's also about dynamic range and subtlety which we're missing due to the whack mastering and loudness war here's an example of the differncies between early 90s mastering and early 2000 mastering. this is the same song ... now think how it would look if it was mastered in 2010, the sound would be flat as fuck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_warso if you have a real ear to the music AVOID REMASTERED ALBUMS. (Of course there are exceptions... f.e. originaly recorded in 70s album should sound better if remastered in 90s)
Yup, digital remastering in many cases just means they compressed and limited it to fuck resulting in it sounding artificially louder. Just turn up the volume on the original.
i dont buy re-mastered albums, nothin wrong wit tha original

some remasters are good or worthwhile (the illmatic one for example), but it isn't like this is an old album with an out of date sounding master or anything. the original is perfect. the drums sound louder/clearer on this one, but so is everything. to me it sounds too loud to the extent of the sound being unbalanced.edit - done a close comparison of the waveforms...there is hardly any difference in the actual volume but this release is ever so slightly louder. sounds like the higher frequencies were boosted more than the rest and compressed again to make the drums sound more present. so, while the original was already LOUD, this is even louder and has been fiddled with somewhat. entirely unnecessary.
