Title: This remastering job isn't good
Product review: The song list is great. I don't care that the Dave stuff is mixed in with the Sammy stuff. It's all good.The two stars are there because of the mastering job. What "remastering" really means is this: "We're going to throw a bunch of compression on the original mix. It doesn't matter that we're adding distortion (where it doesn't belong), raising the noise floor, and killing the dynamics, as long as we can get more level out of it. The folks that mastered Van Halen's previous studio albums didn't know what the hell they were doing anyway."I would never have bought this if it wasn't for the three new Sammy songs. Unless you need the complete Van Hagar era, stay away from this.
