remaster on spotify for both studio and live material is great, much more dynamic than the original CDs. If they can remaster the previous albums it'd be sooo nice. CoE especially would benefit so much from it

watched an interview yesterday where shadows said they will never remaster any of the old albums

then again idk how much control they have over their 2005-13 material considering that greatest hits album warner dropped against their will

Album Rating: 3.0

Ah man that's a shame if it's like that. I'm sure I already said it more than once on sput (rym too lmao sorryyy) but this band's effort against the loudness war can't be commended enough. HttK, The Stage and the DitR+Live remaster all have dynamic mastering and it feels so good to crank them up now. And even the new album is pretty restrained on the compression for today's trend even if a step down from them

loudness war is the g@yest thing to ever happen to metal, and that's saying a lot when power metal and glam rock exist

yeah he more or less said all remasters sucks and ruin the original albums... but its sad cause they guys are one of the only bands who would remaster their stuff the "right" way as seen by the diamonds remaster.

Weird how on the Flash of the Blade cover they say “in a corner forgotten away” instead of “in a corner forgot by no one”. Did they not know the proper lyrics? Or just decided it sounded better this way.

To be fair I still stand by the fact that I like the chorus better than on the original
