I worry the White Pony reissue with be the godawful remastered version they put out digitally that is brickwalled to shit. I honestly cannot listen to those. They're absolutely grating on the ears. Now if it's a completely new master from the ground up, then I am in. But if any remastered reissues come from these digital remasters they put out a couple of years ago, I am staying far away from them.
Just look at how fucking blown out Elite is. Top is original master, bottom is remaster.
And Minerva, top is original master, bottom is remaster...
All the edges are gone. Just a fucking flat wall. Detailed original turned into grating migraine inducing turd.
No joke, I was listening to the White Pony remaster and I began feeling uncomfortable during it. The whole time, just grating to the ears. Halfway through, I got a splitting headache from it. I had to turn it off. Put on the original master at the point I left off and headache went away. If the day comes when the original masters are removed from all stores and all we got are these shit remasters, well that will be a truly sad day and pray you have a CD or vinyl with the original master. Hands down, one of the worst remasterings ever done... ever. I will never go back to them again. When I listen to Deftones, I go to my originals.
