Megadeth’s 2004 ‘Youthanasia’ reissue is like this. They quite literally just went in and slid everything up to max. Fucking unlistenable.
I also love when the remaster consists of swapping the panning and nothing else. “Now the lead guitar is 22% to the left instead of 22% to the right, that’ll be £15 please”.


I know this is a bit older post and Rammstein is quite light in the metal department, BUT I almost drove into a ditch once when I was listening Herzeleid while driving and realized that the album in Spotify had been “swapped” for a remastered fucking yucky version over night and without any notice or them writing clearly that it was a “remaster”. Such clean, dry, soulless, empty yucky fucking mess. Almost ruined the OG album for me. I like the original because they can’t play for shit yet, it sounds real.
