What really sucks is that Lars told them to do it like it happened.

I know, I just cannot stand the loudness/compression stupidity. The Rolling Stones reissues especially bug me.

In the old days of mixing to analogue tape (late 70's), I'd take a 15IPS 2-track tape copy home to listen to on my ReVox while having dinner... just 'background music'... it's AMAZING how many things I would hear while NOT listening to it.

Pretty incredible how the ear/brain connection works when it's NOT working... know what I mean?

The digital transfers/remasters of ZZ Top drive me bonkers. They are so squished that the verb is now as loud as the music
