John Zorn remastered this stuff and was really happy with the results. I guess he likes zero dynamics, digital clipping, audible distortion, and other loudness war defects. He obviously wanted a LOUD record, like Metallica and as Andreas (the other reviewer who noticed sound quality), he didn't care if it sounded like crap. Just because Zorn created the music doesn't mean he knows jack about good mastering. Being a good mastering engineer takes years of practise and dedication, it's not something you can do as a hobby and expect good results. I guess he wanted to make the average volume as close to peak volume and he got to play with his new Prostool plugins and other digital gear to compress the carp out of the music. Well, he has pretty much destroyed it for me. This set is virtually un-listenable.

And for future reference John, if you want to master your music so it is powerful, you need dynamics. If everything is one volume, there are no powerful bits. There can be no loud without quiet, and everything here is one volume. You want to move people, jolt them, and leave an lasting impression? Well none of that is going to happen when kill the dynamics. The ONLY benefit is that the music will be a little louder at first if they have it on shuffle and they don't use volume normalizing.

Anyway, my estimation of Zorn has gone downhill and I really have to question his judgement. Stick with the un-remastered disks if you want good sound quality.
