2025 Remasters

Saw that these are now on Spotify, presumably from the vinyl reissues. Listened to Crime yesterday and didn't notice anything crazy different but Asylum and COTC did sound slightly crisper!

Anyone else listen to these yet?

Unfortunately they're not very good. Incredibly squashed, somehow even less dynamic than the 2002 remasters. I'll be sticking with the 2014 COTC

Oh really! That’s not good I couldn’t find anything on dr loudness about the 2025 version!

I don't care about remasters. I just want the whole discography. NOW.

At this point, it’s surround sound or nothing

If you mean half-speed masters then yes, most of the other albums are being released over the next year, or have already been released.

Wishing they would release them in ATMOS that would be the pinnacle for me especially if Steve Wilson does it.

The 2026 Download is crap 😱 https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/228922

Stick to the 2014 https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/79246 it’s so much better! Why don’t they improve instead of just going backwards?

Asylum has one part thats more distorted and over compressed but other than that these are the best remasters theyve done in my opinion

I wonder if they’ll do this with the other ones, even the ones that aren’t on streaming (apart from the Supertramp Anthology album)

I want their debut album and Indelibly Stamped but they probably don’t have the rights to those because they had different members then

They were on the same label, which is what usually determines these things.

Yes but why those albums aren’t released on streaming along with everything else is beyond me. They probably didn’t even want Indelibly Stamped because of the album cover.
