Negative Positive
Title: Slightly less then stellar
Review: Obviously if there is enough mentioning of unimpressive remastering, they had to have gotten something wrong. Yes, there are some really well done passages that bring to light spectacular new dimension previously buried in the mix, but that is more the exception then the rule. There is just a certain detachment that prevents truly melding to the mostly awe-inspiring material, leaving a final product shiny in certain spots, though coldly balanced in muted tones. Having said that, if I were to hear it for the first time without any preconceived notions I would still be blown away, if slightly less then what the album is fully capable of achieving.
Is the review positive or negative?
