Rust in Peace Re-Issue

[Soul of Ice]

For those who care...

Possives - Music and vocals are much clearer and louder than the original release

The amazing solos are much clearer, the music has a more full sound, the singing is clear too. The biggest plus is that the sound is bigger. Before I would have to crank up my stereo very high in order to rock out to this one, and that would result in some buzzing sounds. Now I am please to turn it up only about half as high for a much clearer sound.

Negative - Fiddling with some of the original singing.

Most notably the shouty parts of the songs on the likes of "Take No Prisoners" and one or two others. That I can't help not remembering at the moment. The rest I can live with, but the parts on Take No Prisoners are horrible. I think I need to fiddle a little bit and take the better parts from the old album and mix them into the re-issue.

All in all I am supremely pleased.

Yes, so far this is the best Megadeth remaster I've heard so far (out of RIP, CW and Y). Still waiting for the rest in the mail since they were sold out at Best Buy by the time I got there...

How did they alter the gang vocals on "Take No Prisoners"? I always loathed those gang vocals... so I don't see how it could get any worse, in my opinion.

I just heard the "Peace Sells" remaster and I think it was a huge improvement... especially the drum sound... which sounds more organic.

Yeah, they butchered the group vocals on Take No Prisoners and Five Magics. However, the drums sound AWESOME!

 

[Platinum Maze]

I remember hearing something different about the vocals in Holy Wars too. Is this the only remaster that they played with the vocals? I'm waiting for RIP, CTE, PS, and SFSGSW in the mail too.

 

[Soul of Ice]

Oh no, Dave resang the whole MD45 album and I hear the Risk album is completely different as well.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Oh no, Dave resang the whole MD45 album and I hear the Risk album is completely different as well.

The only improvements that could be made to either of those albums would be if he decided to start from scratch and create two entirely new records.

Now that the re-masters are out, it will be a pain in the rear-end to find the original versions. I knew I should have bought the albums missing in my collection!! I think the idea of a re-master is cool except when I haven't heard the stuff before. It would be cool to hear the original versions and then compare, but now if I hear the re-master first it won't feel right. Bah!! :hotjump:

the Rust in Peace remaster is awesome, if that solo in Tornado of Souls wasn't already amazing on the original, now you can hear it with the sound quality that it deserves. Really one of the best solo's ever IMHO, it has just everything.

 

[ElPredicador]

Cool, I remember my Megadeth die-hard fan days, and the only album I couldn't find anywhere was RIP, I have all the others until Risk (damn that was a deception... though this is for that other thread)

 

[Snowmaker]

Actually, all of Take No Prisoners was completely resung. Listen carefully and you can tell.

I've got all 7 remasters. The only one you really don't hear much difference on is Cryptic Writings.
