I’m not sure how it works, but I turned it off because I was noticing specifically the volume cut on albums by … a lot.

 

If you have a good setup but not actually Dolby then I definitely recommend turning it off at all times

 

Kinda scared to check the rerelease out based on comments, the original intro and outro of give em hell kid are kinda my favorite parts of any of their songs

 

Like I mean of all the things to mess with... lol

After giving it a full listen, I'm sure like if I was giving both versions a first listen, there might be things I like better on the new version. It is cool to hear some new parts that stand out now. I think I might like the bridge to Ghost more on this one. But at the end of the day, that'll probably be my only listen cause I wouldn't replace the original in my head with this haha.

 

Yeah I don't think this is for me

 

Soooo maybe we’ll get a Black Parade remaster next year?

 

Instead of making new albums, just keep remaking the old ones. It's genius!

 

If this was the mix in 2004 MCR would not have taken off. The “loudness wars” version was perfect for a scene band that was getting major label offers before their debut.

 

I will say, the mix on the live BBC recordings is absolutely terrible and you can't hear anything over the bass and drums haha

 

I feel like a rerecording of the debut is the only potentially fun "remake" project left that would be fun if they're intent on not making new music

 

I am enjoying this, think the mix really elevates some parts of songs that were lost in the original. Now, I will say that the original mix is so familiar to me that this new one really did throw me off in some parts, but I can appreciate what they did. I think I can equally enjoy both of them separately, though the original in its intention and my nostalgia are still superior to me.

 

What parts are specifically jarring for you?

 

Wait so why did they do this? Album’s a widely acknowledged classic, did they make some statement about how they’re unhappy with the mix?

 

Why not?

 

Not many bands spend time doing things like this and it isn’t an even numbered anniversary.

 

Delete it off the internet then!

 

insane take lol

 

Uh this is done all the time. How many mixes have the Beatles gone through?

 

It was the 20th last year, they could have planned it for that and just not got it done in time? haha.

 

Yes those are roughly the same thing requiring equivalent levels of time and effort

 

I feel like an idiot, but I've listened to a few of the songs and don't notice much of a difference (granted I'm not as well versed on this album). Not to say there isn't though.

 

Really wasn't my point at all, but go off.

 

I’m not sure why there’s so much hostility when I just asked a question.

 

I'm actually really enjoying this. Haven't really spun this album in a long time so that could be part of it.
