The Beatles Remastered

[If you shout...]

I haven't yet listened to Abbey Road. Looks like it may be sketchy. Been waiting on Pepper's for a loooooooooong time, now, but it should be in pretty soon. I will holler with my thoughts, I guess. Like I said, though, Revolver in stereo is not (to my brutalized ears) an earth-shattering improvement. It just sounds a bit more crisp and dimensional.

*wishes he had a WHAT account. i'll have mp3's soon from Atease though.

PM me your email. I can help you out with that.

Abbey Road, Sgt Peppers and Revolver are the only ones leaked so far right?

Yep.

 

[If you shout...]

Also, lots of sub-320s floating around, minus Revolver. Not sure how much stock I should put in my own opinions...

Hmm, well, this will be interesting then.

Out of curiosity, where are you grabbing copies from?

 

[Irishteen]

I really don't think Abbey Road is V0 at all, the bitrates look way too low

Making opinions on the quality of a remastered classic album based on a digital file rip seems incredibly backward to me.

Seeing as the FLAC is out there, there's no reason people couldn't. it's on the next in CD quality




I think Abbey Road is a transcode for people on what, the bit rates are at most low 200s, seems odd for a V0

I was going to say the same thing, especially as part of the experience will be cracking open that new packaging.

I will agree with this, even though I think it was mistakenly directed at me. I agree, and that's why I'm making note of the "quality" of the files.

It might be between a V2 and V0. Low 200s isn't all that bad of a rip, as long as it isn't a transcode.

Perusing through the comments, it looks like the uploader has the discs in front of him and is working on getting a FLAC of each up, so I don't think Abbey Road's a transcode, just a lower V0 probably.

 

[If you shout...]

Whatever it is, this one already sounds like a pretty spectacular improvement. Very noticeable, even at doo-doo quality.

I just think all lower 200s on a V0 seems really low, especially since the songs also cut off at a frequency of 16k a lot of the time. Which shouldn't be happening on a V0 unless the CDs are like that

They definitely sound remastered, just not V0 quality in my opinion

 

[LMP]

What.cd can suck it, and suck it hard.

Hmm, who knows. I'll still listen to them until I get my own copy and can rip 'em myself.

I think I'm going to put Sgt. Pepper's on first.

Man, I still feel bad about that whole situation.

You shouldn't at all. It's not your fault that they like being dicks for a living.

 

[If you shout...]

Did I miss something...?

 

[onebloodonelife]

You shouldn't at all. It's not your fault that they like being dicks for a living.

Still. I was the one who invited you, so I take some responsibility for it.

 

[LMP]

Long story short, oneblood was nice enough to invite me to What.CD. As soon as I got on, I started downloading a program that I really needed and left it on overnight, only to find out that it wasn't uploading the way it was supposed to. They suspended my account and wouldn't help me when I tried to ask for help on how to fix it.

I ended up getting what I needed through other means and everything's a-OK.

 

[If you shout...]

Ol' Sarge sounds pretty funkadelic, too. Very impressive.

 

[impy13]

So it's just Abbey, Revolver, and Pep's so far, right? Those are the three coming down the chute for me right now.

 

[Justin24]

Can some one PM me where you can get the Leaked Remastered MP3's of the albums?

 

[impy13]

Alright, so a couple of my friends and I are going through each song, listening to the old version for a minute and then the remastered version.

These sound so. fucking. good.

 

[No spoken words]

How many friends? Are any of them NOT douchebags?

 

[If you shout...]

I have to say, these remasters even surpass the sublime beauty of this immortal, post-Pop Howie B classic:

YouTube - Howie B. - Butt Meat: Video

Yeah, I said it. And I pretty much meant it, too. ...Even if only just.

 

[impy13]

How many friends? Are any of them NOT douchebags?

Two. And no.

 

[the tourist]

Yay! My wife is letting me buy them the day they come out!

 

[impy13]

letting

 

[lazarus]

I didn't have the heart to say anything, and was hoping Dalton would show up.
