The problem with the Ten reissue

The top waveforms are the song Porch from the original Ten album.
The lower waveforms are the very same song from the newly remastered version of the album (not the remixed version, just the remastered).

If you can't spot the problem, read up on it here:

It's unfortunate that my all time favorite band has fallen victim to this.

    Thats the same problem with Avocado- just way too compressed!

    Avocado is damn near unlistenable. I only listened to the remastered Ten once, I've mainly played the remixed version. But I played Ten on my stereo and it's usually when I try to listen on a decent pair of headphones that my ears feel like they need to bleed.

    I agree. It's unfortunate because it's such a good album otherwise.
