[01:34] schestowitz >> record whores are only allowing the remastered version to play.
[01:34] schestowitz >>
[01:34] schestowitz >> The remastered version sounds like it's playing from a toilet. They're
[01:34] schestowitz >> flattening the dynamic range so it's like an amped up music box, it
[01:34] schestowitz >> sounds so crap they might as well autotune it.
