Thank you. This needed to be said. New remasters exist just to increase volume all the time. It's still a remaster. A bad remaster? Sure. But a remaster nonetheless. It's a remaster unless they press CDs from the same master copy that was used in pressing the two copies of AB I own now.
We can discuss the technical issues surrounding "remaster" and what constitutes a "true remaster" (ala the previous reissues) all day long.
But unless and until U2.com or some other official entity indicates that Achtung Baby has been remastered from the original source tapes (like they did for every other release), it hasn't been.
