Title: They killed it
Product review: I love this album, but what a disappointment this remaster is. Thirteen Grammys and you brought up tons of noise, hiss and it sounds eons worse than the original CD/first re master? The quieter sections are unlistenable through the hiss. And they used so much compression that the whole thing sounds flat and devoid of any air. That pure pristine voice often sounds distorted and like it is oversaturating the microphones. What was once beautiful music sounds like it is drowning in thick midrange soup. Bad. I can't believe Barbra approved it. She should pull all the copies, fire the engineer and start all over. Boo (literal) hiss.
