I think I'm the only person who can never tell the difference.

okay okay, heres the best way - go and get Reign In Blood remaster, listen to it, then get the original and listen to that, then tell me you cant tell the difference?!?

Well I'll be able to tell the difference if I play them seconds after each other. But if someone came in and went "New Remastered Megadeth album, listen to the difference". I'd just be like "it's..their song...what?"

lol yeah I know what yu mean, the only difference I noticed with the Megadeth remasters is that I could actually hear the songs on my portable cd player on the bus

I'd relaly like Testament to remaster their back catalogue up to Low - I was listening to Souls of Black the other day and I could barely hear it, so i put on The Legacy and the mastering was much better on it. So how come their first album has better quality than their fourth?!

Testament fucked up.

I would really like to hear ...AJFA with a great re-master job so you can hear the bass. That would be cool.

Think about it?

Maybe the CD version of the Legacy was given a bit of a digital remaster before being released?! And they wouldn't have changed the mastering on Souls.. since it was already digitally mastered when it was released orignally

Its possible

I think that most thrash metal cannot be remastered without it being destroyed in the process. But then remastering can be many things. As long as it isn't remastered like Mustaine remastered Megadeth's albums, i think it is okay to remove spikes in audio levels and such, but not to alter the sound or add/remove elements from the original version.

Remasters are usually either really good or really bad.

All in all, I prefer getting an original LP of an album, because it always sounds better regardless of production.

Reign in Blood on LP owns my ears.

the cd pwns my ears pretty hard
