Time to weigh in.
My opinion:
This is fucking gay.
Whatever remastering they've done (probably just turning the volume up and fucking up the dynamics as doing a proper job would require enough time that they would have mentioned it) isn't worth paying for the album again (considering that only VTW needed remastering), the only thing a long-time fan would want these for is the Bochum material, they know full well that a lot of fans are gonna fuck themselves by buying second copies of the albums just to get the Bochum material, so why not just release it separately? Gouging would be such a sharp reversal of policy that I still hold out hope that they have plans, or at least that there are extenuating circumstances, but this doesn't look good.
That said I'll be picking up Versus the World, because I actually never owned a copy before and it could honestly use the remastering (in general it sounds fine, but Johan's vocals sound atrocious, particularly the gutterals).
