Billy dropped the ball on the vinyl reissues.
What a klutz

The reissues should have been packaged exactly like the original versions. MCIS should have retained the same track list. Adore should have been mono.
The mirrored cover art is a dumb gimmick. These aren't reissues, these are new editions. The closest thing to a true reissue is Gish, which is the most common record in their catalogue. |

It would be nice for him to care about things instead of just signing documents

New MCIS tracklisting is dumb
I like the alternate covers though. Makes the original records seem more worthwhile |

that was a dumb move. no one in their right mind treats them as true reissues, even just for the cover art.

Yeah, that purple and orange album cover does ruin the charm, that's for sure.
I listen to music on the "Stringray app" and now when they air Siamese Dream tunes they actually have the orange and purple Siamese Dream cover displayed. Looks ugly as fuck. |

The CD tracklist of MCIS is the definitive tracklist. It actually has flow, the vinyl track order really sucks and just feels odd. The CD tracklist feels like a journey where the vinyl feels like tracks slapped together to adhere to the limitations of vinyl: side lengths, quieter tracks toward the center. Obviously Billy thinks the CD track order is THE track order and I must agree. It plays much better as an album.
The mono Adore sounds like crap compared to the stereo. Stereo lets elements breathe and gives life to the tracks. Fuller, less claustrophobic sounding. Billy does suck, but he did a good job on the reissues. I don't mind the covers as they are meant to distinguish the reissue from the original master. I think they did an amazing job on the artwork as a package, especially MCIS, AFH, Adore artwork. If you hate it so much, just go find and buy the original vinyl masters and enjoy.

The Aeroplane Vinyl Set is quite immaculate.
Siamese Dream has noise, Pieces is solid, and MCIS has that fukt Zero. The Adore remaster is great IMO |

Thread would have been better with a video of a ball being dropped on a stack of reissues.
You really dropped the ball on this one Slunk my friend. |

i just feel like it wasn't really significant enough of a remaster, in the case of the actual albums themselves (bonus tracks etc benefitted from better quality version of demos & shit that were circulating for a while)
but like, a listened to the MCIS reissue the other day, and it definitely doesn't sound bad but it's so similar to the original i don't really get what the advantages were to remastering this time around. can't imagine anyone actually winning a "pepsi challenge" of the original vs. remaster out of anything but sheer luck i gotta say though i do like the presentation of MC's reissue, and i fuckin' love the presentation of Adore's |

Yeah, maybe that's the case for the vinyl, but on CD the differences between MCIS' original and the reissue are night and day. The reissue sounds way brighter, somewhat less muddy, for whatever that's worth to people.

Deftones recently remastered their albums where some tracks featured new, unheard elements. They used the same artwork, but the remaster was absolutely terrible and blown out, quite grating to listen to. |

Pisces sounds good, but the wrong version of Plume drives me nuts. Never bought the Adore one on vinyl. Maybe I need to. |

I wonder why they felt the need to so radically distort the artwork... That shiny foil shit IS NOT gonna age well... These albums are beloved classics, why fuck with the cover at?

In a few more years the "definitive from the archives" vinyls will come out with the original artwork. Don't worry.

i guess it still gives some value to the original pressings though.
But yeah, who the hell okayed the new SD cover? that thing is hideous. |
