What do you think about remastered recordings? Good idea, bad idea, or does it depend on the album? Obviously a lot of extreme metal gets its charm from rough recordings, but do some deserve a makeover of sorts?
Example: Cliff Burton era Metallica should be remastered IMMEDIATELY. Did you know that there is a long bass solo at the beginning of Call of the Cutulu? It's there, and it's wonderful. Too bad it is nearly impossible to hear.
Example: Nearly every time I put on some 70s music in my truck while mom is driving with me she cringes at the remaster jobs. She says they sound thin and screechy, and nothing like the original.
