I bought the new remasters of GnR Illusions since I enjoyed the originals so much in the 1990s but had lost those copies over the decades.

And they sound terrible lol. Modern loudness compressed, mid range is boosted so high my teeth hurt, and November Rain got wrecked:

Piano is quieter, strings are louder, the thunder clap is muted to almost background atmosphere, the last bass drum kick on the signature drum roll is muted. It has no cinematic narrative punch anymore.

But I'm sure they'll sound great mixed into streams from Spotify lol. Capitalism wins this round. 😋
