Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Pearl Jam's Ten, Legacy Edition

Any Pearl Jam fans on here, and if so, I'm curious to know what people think about PJ's newly remixed version of Ten.

I've barely listened to it (snippets of some of the tracks), but it definitely sounds different, and not just "louder" like a lot of newer "remixes" (with most being more like remasters). It is certainly louder, but they seemed to have brought the bass and drums to the forefront far more than before, and taken the guitars back, but adding more "clarity" to them? I really need to listen to it a few times through, and compare it to the original to form a better opinion.

Also curious on peoples' opinions if they like the concept of doing this to old records, or if they're better left alone?
I'm not sure about that one.

I heard that it was more of a reproducing of the album than a basic remaster. That's what I heard on the radio. They brought in the same producer that worked on Vs. and Vitalogy and made it more "gritty".

Does it make the lyrics intelligible?

WoooaaaaIuhhheeeeeerd Ahmstillalivuhhhh

They can't work miracles.

Jerumeee spokane, waaashington...

Glad it's not just me.

Jeremy broke his ass today.

Here's a humorous video of a classic "what the hell is he singing?" Pearl Jam song.

I am a huge PJ fan. I have not heard the new release yet, and am undecided about whether I'll get it or not. I'll probably get it, as I like all of the Ten songs better live than I do on the studio version of the album. I imagine that has a lot to do with the way the original was mixed/produced--which pretty much is universally panned, including by the group. (I think George Harrison felt the same way about All Things Must Pass).
