This was requested. The 1991 CD release against 2011 Deluxe Edition 2 x CD release (which is of course remastered). My ears are not optimized for this kind of music, so you be the judge ;)

Flatness, which causes lack of punch/impact, is obvious in the 2011 remaster just by looking at the waveform.

The 24-bit 96 kHz release from HDTracks.com:

...has similar characteristics as the 2011 remaster you see in this video. What a waste of bits :P
