Has anyone listened to the remastered versions of the Megadeth albums? Particularly Countdown and Youthanasia... I was really surprised. It all sounded very different and I couldn’t stand the production. Is it really that noticeable, or am I off my head?
And FWIW Testament were MUCH better than Metallica yet they received nowhere near as much recognition. Alex Skolnick... what an incredibly underrated player.
That said, I do like Metallica. Hetfield's right arm is a machine.
Which is hugely disrespectful to the late Gar Samuelson. In fact it’s fucking criminal.
Both bands did great things in the 80’s and should probably have retired 10 years ago. I wouldn’t cross the road to see Metallica live these days.
As much as i totally rate Chris Broderick, his were the only albums i didn't really get into from their catalogue.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
The one I was aware of is the MD.45 album, where Mustaine said he "couldn't find" Lee Ving's vocal tracks, so he re-recorded them himself. So I guess it's no surprise if he tampered with other things.
Post 80s and I'm not sure I'd listen to either of them much. The same goes for Exodus, Testament and Kreator as well.
The remastered Countdown seems as if it's a new album and immediately sounded shite to me. I have listened to the original one so many times since it came out that it's basically seared into my brain. Even the opening drum run to Skin o My Teeth is different. They've lost loads of heft and weight in the songs and I'm pretty sure they have used different takes in places. It just sounds really bad and trebly and just... half finished... which is crazy.
