No one has heard Pablo Honey or The Bends properly remastered. Insane this hasn't happened yet. OK Computer was remastered in 2017 and everything after that including Kid A is perfectly mastered and doesn't need to be redone. Just insane no one has once heard 'Creep' or 'High and Dry' with the modern amount of bass in it. |

Date: February 9th, 2026 10:43 PM Author: bo nix all the older stuff in this list has been remastered Aja a couple of times iirc (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833108&forum_id=2:#49659643) |

Date: February 9th, 2026 11:03 PM Author: Perfect Pussy (ACG) Interestingly The Downward Spiral was remixed in quadrophonic. If you get the Deluxe edition it contains the original CD version and then a second data layer that can be be played back by some special hi-fi player. I've never personally listened to anything in 4 channel quadrophonic. I did recently listen to this album and at no point did my brain think that it needed to be remastered. It sounds fine imo but I can pull it up in perfectly listening conditions just to be sure.
Aja definitely has been remastered. It has to have. |

Date: February 9th, 2026 11:13 PM Author: Perfect Pussy (ACG) Edit: I didn't notice it but you're right about TDS. Not enough low end. Drums don't hit hard enough. It's overall a great mix so it's not totally noticeable but it could be improved. It's nowhere near as bad as the original CD version of Mellon Collie which came out a year later and is noticeably worse.
I don't know why they haven't done TDS. The remaster of Pretty Hate Machine is infinitely better than the original. |

Date: February 9th, 2026 11:19 PM Author: Perfect Pussy (ACG) Closer somehow sounds perfect though. But I agree overall it should be done. Hurt sounds very thin. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833108&forum_id=2:#49659730) |

Date: February 9th, 2026 11:10 PM Author: Perfect Pussy (ACG) agree with Bonded by Blood. Funny thing is it sounds huge but ya lacking in bass and vocal clarity. I would be for this. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833108&forum_id=2:#49659708) |

Date: February 9th, 2026 11:29 PM Author: average/ordinary/typical citizen/person Majority do Third Eye Blinds debut album was remastered in 2006 but it should be again imo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833108&forum_id=2:#49659746) |
|
Date: February 9th, 2026 11:33 PM Author: Perfect Pussy (ACG) Interesting take. Never noticed anything wrong with this but I just put it on and I could see it being improved.
It's funny so many autists talk about dynamic range like this prized thing and they're listening to the oldest shittiest versions of things. I actually prefer less dynamic range. It's a rock song, not classical. It should hit you over the head. All the people who pushed the Loudness Wars were right. I think total vindication.
Edit: it looks like 3eb's songs were remastered in 2006 for "A Collection." Those sound way better than the mix on their debut record. But I don't see where they did the whole album. |

Date: February 9th, 2026 11:44 PM Author: Perfect Pussy (ACG) I wonder if they can use AI to enhance it. If so it would be pretty cool to hear improved versions of old recordings that are hard to hear. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833108&forum_id=2:#49659759) |

Date: February 11th, 2026 10:54 AM Author: Perfect Pussy (ACG) I can't believe no one said this but obviously Purple Rain. I don't think any Prince stuff has ever been remastered. Sad! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833108&forum_id=2:#49662943) |

Date: February 11th, 2026 10:59 AM Author: Perfect Pussy (ACG) A lot of classical too has way too much dynamic range. Do people actually like it that in the quiet parts of symphonies you can barely hear it and have to turn it up and then in the loud parts it's so loud it shakes your walls? Why not compress it so you can hear the quiet parts at a normal volume and the jump up to the loud parts isn't as dramatic?

Do people actually like a recorded symphony to sound like a symphony? Gee I wonder |

Date: February 13th, 2026 11:25 AM Author: Perfect Pussy (pptp) I think people genuinely underestimate how much better modern mastering sounds. When you bring up the bass and the overall loudness it subtly transforms the entire mix. It's a lot more pleasing to the ears. And here's the thing over time everything will be modernized. They even pitch correct old Beatles songs now. And what will happen is that they slide these versions in on Spotify and in a generation no one will remember the old version. They used AI to split off the violin on Eleanor Rigby into a stereo image. Some day virtually no one will have heard the original 1966 version. Everything will eventually have a loud digital master and old music will just sound weak. You may as well go all in. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833108&forum_id=2:#49668186) |
