    Other sites are reporting it’s super hot and hard on the ears.  Definitely looking forward to folks’ opinions on here, since it’s the only one of the 3 I haven’t cancelled yet based on crappy sound reviews. 
    RA and Binaural have gotten bad sound reviews?
    It’s to be expected, you can’t please everyone.  Muddy was a common description though.

    Their live sound is incredibly muddy so maybe they were going for that experience.

    There's a Mitch Hedberg joke in here somewhere. 
    I have no idea who he is?
    He was a comedian. He had a joke about "hearing music". Check him out on YouTube.

    I'm confused. Nothing was changed for RA and Binaural so how can they be muddy? It's just a remaster. Do you think the OGs were muddy too?
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You guys already have it on vinyl? My order from 10c is still warehoused and it seemingly isn't being released in Canada until December 1. 
    I got my RA from a local store and l
    Spotify has them so I listened to avocado on there. 
    I have no idea of the difference but that's not to say there isn't. My ears are fucked. Im interested in opinions though so i can listen out again. All good fun

    I must be honest i didn't even smile reading that.
    There maybe a vast gap between English humour and American!

    The dynamic range numbers according to Dr.Loudness,  says the new one is almost twice as loud as the original.  :(

    Finally got mine from Amazon and spun it last night. I don't have an original pressing, so I can't compare it to that, but overall it sounds fairly well mixed. I found the crash cymbals sometimes get some high end distortion. I don't know, we can pull it apart and analyze it all day, but I'm just very thankful to have an official pressing.Damn happy.

    I agree. Had to turn it off after two songs. 
    You turned it off after two songs?!  I thought the sound was amazing!
    Thats kinda what I have been reading. Some love it, some hate it.

    Your never going to make everyone happy. PJ has never released anything near audiophile, so I think people need to start coming to the realization (myself included) that great sound will probably never happen from their discography. Sounds great through earbuds though...lol
     I agree completely.  I've stopped expecting audiophile sound from them.  I think the mix is a tad hot but it sounds better than the original.  I put it in an EQ analyzer and it's pretty much at the max both high and low throughout they heavy songs.  But hey, at least they aren't compressed.  I ended up turning the gain down pretty good and that mellowed it out nicely.  
    I also looked at it in spec and it's at the 96khz level so at least it isn't a ripoff.

    Give him a try, it’s all in his delivery.  Rip Mitch!

    I agree with the crash cymbols being loud. And some guitars being lost

    I'm halfway through the new mix. I like what he's done with Parachutes as that always sounded thin to me but it feels like all the life has been sucked out of Severed Hand which is a shame.

    Severed Hand is now a lean mean machine. Just too much going on guitar-wise in the original mix.

    Just my opinion. I think it sounds much better all around. I may never listen to the original mix again.

    Couldn’t disagree more. I’m surprised how much detail they pulled out, while having everything compressed to shit.
