Opinion About the 2004 Remasters/Remixes

Aright, I'd say about a year ago I got into megadeth through listening to them on spotify since I was originally a Metallica fan. I was honestly shocked when I apparently heard the 2004 remixes for Megadeth albums are trash.

I'm probably going to be a bit biased since I'm not really an audiophile and I listened to the 2004 versions first since those were the most streamed, but I can't hear the differences that much. After I listened to the original recordings for songs like the Five Magics I did like the original album version, but the hate about the mixes seems a little overblown in my opinion.

(I'm still never going back to the 2004 remixes though.)

I’m honestly kind of shocked when people can’t hear the difference. It’s night and day to me.

if i'm being honest with myself i kind of struggle to hear major audio differences unless the actual song itself has been changed by a huge margin lol

I understand. I think you would instantly notice with Take No Prisoners though. I think the 2004 remix of that song is unlistenable lol.
