Buying this was completely worth it to me. I'm not an audiophile at all, I'm basically the opposite. I can't notice anything like that at all, when you guys talk about certain instruments in the mix, different productions, etc., I'm lost. But even I can hear the differences with this collection, so many cool things that were drowned out, or almost drowned out, on the albums. Or just things sounding more prominent. It's really awesome even for someone like me, so for people who are big into production and how certain things sound, it must be huge. I just don't get why the band hasn't said anything.

It's just hard listening to this while trying to obsessively listen to Gore, haha.

I feel you! okay cool. maybe i'll buy my favorite album first and do a listen.

Haven't even finished Hole in the earth yet and although I don't really like the vocals they took out of the song, the improvement in sound quality is going to make me enjoy this album 1000x more than I already do.

Ok so just bought it last night but I don't understand how this works? Apple does the remastering themselves? How are we now hearing parts that we had never heard before.. I don't get it.. Shit is sick tho.

I read up on what exactly is "Remastered for iTunes" and apparently, the producers have to come to iTunes and say hey i want to put this out there, so they send them the lossless files of what they want and add some apple magic that can make it into a 256kbps track but loose little to no quality. Idk how thats possible, but apples coding is special, therefore they say its remastered for iTunes. And it appears reprise mustve approached iTunes and said hey we want this and that. iTunes doesnt go to them, producers go to them. So if we want to thank anybody, lets thank reprise for taking them time to do this. Mustve taken a long time. Hate to see it not getting any support though
Was it like it seemed?...

And yet no mention of it from anyone :\ weird. Also the additions and changes to the songs. Weird as hell.

There's no changes whatsoever to KNY right? Can others confirm? Also, no changes in sound on Covers?

I listened to KNY last night and its mainly just clarity, not huge things, just clearer and better. I havnt really listened to covers but i did listen to sleepwalk and it was crispy, and in iTunes it says Mastered for iTunes as well.

Just listened to Please Please Pleass Let Me Get What I Want, i could tell some difference, alot more Chino vocals and abe. Id have to compare it to the original to confirm though. But it did sound clearer.

I can't hear a single bit of difference on KNY yet. Every other album I can easily. You sure it's not a placebo effect on you? If anyone has Covers from iTunes and wouldn't mind sending over a song to compare with to confirm, that'd be great. This whole thing is so awesome.. Combat pops more now too. It does the guitars justice when it kicks in right after the intro. SNW is so insanely underappreciated at times.

It could be placebo effect, not sure! But yes covers sounds like it is a remastered, lot more clearer IMO

Awesome! Pretty sure there's no difference on KNY at all, but if anyone notices otherwise eventually, please speak up.

Ok great thx for explaining that! Very cool. Can't wait to really dive into this.

If only tonight sounds relatively the same, not much there so far, maybe a little more steph? But not really, it could be cause its a live track, right?

You can hear the bass a bit more at the end of royal when things get heavy, it sounds heavier now, thicker to be precise

Self titled seems to have a little bit more hiss left in the mix in general (for example beginning of Battle-Axe). The volume difference between Minerva and Good Morning Beautiful is annoying me a little, sounds like they tried to push the guitars on Minerva a little more or something. Can't hear this volume difference on the original CD but most won't care or notice. Heard a little studio sound in the beginning of "Fist" I never noticed before. About the Around the Fur changes, someone was selling a cassette tape of the unmixed Around the Fur years ago but the price was way too high, it's possibly circulating out there offline so some of these changes may not be new to anyone that has a copy of it. 
get bored.

"New" Passenger >>>> "Old" Passenger. I can't stop listening to it

Is it me or the vocals of "Bloody Cape" sound different?

thetimeisdead

I'm listening to "No Ordinary Love" from Covers (iTunes) and it does sound different from the one in B-Sides and Rarities-
