Unnecessary Remasters?

Featured Replies

Remastering these were completely unnecessary and uncalled for. They're noticeably different to the originals.

Literally made me dig up my dusty old physical copies so I can have them copied to my offline music collection.

 

What else? This does not have to just be about music releases but remasters in general.

Dreezy's Schizo remaster ended up cutting off the ends of all the songs and there was no noticeable difference in any of the mixing or mastering. 

 

 

There's a ton but the only thing I can think of is an album that desperately needs a remaster, which is Madonna's Like a Prayer. A lot of albums from the early CD age (1988-1993) probably need a good remaster. Pop albums especially tended to be quieter and now sound horrible through headphones. 

There was absolutely no reason to market this as a remastered 15th anniversary edition.

Britney The Singles Collection added "(Remastered)" after every track name but what was Remastered was lost on me. 

tbh all of them that have ever been made. leave the originals alone unless there was an error in the production in the originals.

a re-record is fine, just leave the original recordings alone

The 2005 remasters of Amor a la Mexicana and Arrasando by Thalía ended up sounding really muddy :deadbanana4: For the singles from these albums, I usually just play the versions from her 2004 Greatest Hits album cause they sound way better.
