I can't see any proof that this is remastered yet the treble is ear-piercing across the whole album. I know there are a few remixed songs but the whole album sounds compressed and actually hurts my ears. What's the deal here, does anyone know?

    Wow... a lot of audiophile threads these last few days.

    Important note: I have no idea whether it was remastered.:) Just commenting.

    I wouldn't know I don't have this album. I have the whole studio releases.

    BTW, is it even worth buying?
    I have all the songs already at its original release.

    As SENROCK pointed out, track 3 is definitely a selling point (the re-recorded version of Even Flow from the video). The Brendan O'Brien remixes of Alive, Once, and Black. The alternate mix of State of Love and Trust. Oh, and there's a small lyric change in Who You Are.

    It was mastered like shit, just like their last few albums. That's all there is to it.

    All I know is that they tore Black apart by changing the electric guitar with a little distorssion for a clean one..it totally killed the mood of the song...that´s why I don´t like the Black live version anymore with the acoustic guitar....That song is all about that electric guitar!! it´s the soul and the mood of it!!!

    Actually, all they did was remove the EQ that made the guitar sound like it was coming through an AM radio. Same guitar track, just stripped the effect. I kinda like it better overall because it's not drenched in reverb.

    I bought it, I think it is great. It is worth buying, if only to complete the collection.

    and what's with that nanosecond of noise that precedes 'Animal?' do you know what I'm talking about? it's a real nit-picky thing but you'll notice that the first second of the song is different than it is on Vs.

    That one word, if you can even call it a word, totally and completely gave Even Flow new life for me. I was getting sick of it. Until the day i heard that again on the cd.

    Ahhh i LOVE that little bit of feedback before Animal. It really makes the song kick in so well.

    I think RVM is worth buying, even if you have the studio releases. There's the re-recorded Even Flow, which i won't go into because SENROCK and the gang have it covered :)
    Then there's Alive which has a clearer sounding guitar part from Mike throughout the song, and then Black which has much more prominent piano parts during the chorus which just broke my heart when i first heard it. It gave the song new life for me!
