Free Music Notes for Genesis
Free Music Review: Worst remasters I've ever, and it's remixed too.
Hit: 1 Stars
(Note: This goes for ALL 2007 Genesis remasters, not just Duke. I only use examples from Duke because they showcase the horrors of these remasters the most from iTunes previews. iTunes also has both the 94' and the 07' remasters available, so you can use those for comparison for all of the Genesis remasters.)
I've spent the past 15 minutes listening to these remasters for Genesis through iTunes previews, and they are hands down THE WORST remasters I've ever heard. Even worse then the infamous Raw Power remaster done by Iggy Pop. They didn't just remaster them too. They also remixed and re-recorded everything, and now it's not even the same LP/CD I bought all of those years back. I have a feeling Phil Collins had a big part in the remastering process, because his parts are re-recorded/remixed the most.
To start, the drums are all new. They didn't even try to make it sound like the original drum line. Honestly, what kind of an idiot thought that would sound better? There's also an embarrassing emphasis on the base drum now, which totally kills the snare drums while at the same time being killed by the worst dynamic compression I've ever heard. They also revrebed the hell out of the drums on tracks like Man of Our Times, Duke's End, and probably others in which the drum line isn't included on the iTunes preview. The guitar is also cranked up, and it also sounds like the vocals are also re-recorded on some tracks, most notably Guide Vocal. I can't confirm that though, because it could also be cause by this remaster being SOOOOO bright.
Seriously, these are the brightest records I've ever heard. There's virtually no bass and little midrange except for the bass drum, and that just... Ugh. Most remasters actually just turn the bass up, but that's nothing compared to records remaster brightly. These and the Yes remasters are victims of that. If you've heard the Yes remasters though, they are nothing compared to how bright this is. It's like someone took you're TV, changed the contrast to 95%, and turned the brightness up to 90%.
They lame dynamic compression doesn't help either. There is so much distortion found on some tracks that you can't hear anything but the drums for a second. Most compression on remasters is done smoothly, so they don't create the level of distortion found on these remasters (though compression still creates some distortion no matter how smooth it is). Did they do this with Audacity's lame default compressor? It sounds just like it, but only the person who used it didn't know exactly how to use it. Behind The Lines, Turn It On Again, and Duke's End are perfect examples from the previews.
Just... wow. Compression levels will never reach this level, I can at least just tell you that. There's way just too much distortion going on for it to happen, but the fact that not that many people can tell the difference between the 94' remaster and this just floors me. It's so blatant and sloppy, that I have no respect for the team behind these remasters.
