When I first bought KiMB, and SFSGSW remasters, and I heard them for the first time, I thought they sucked with the exception of a few songs. Now SFSGSW is my 3rd favorite deth album, and KiMY is like #6 or something. They grew on me because I learned to appreciate the songs. I still think those two have the worst production out of all the albums though. Does the original KiMB sound anything like the Demo recordings on the KiMB remasters bonus tracks? Because they sound horrible.

I have originals and remasters for all applicable albums except Killing is My Business (have the remaster). Overall I like the originals better than the remasters if only because I did have them first.

There were a couple tracks, however, that were radically changed for the worse in my not-so humble opinion on the re-masters. The intros were changed and spoiled these songs:

Sweating Bullets (They put the newer version in GH5...bleh. I don't like it nearly as well.)
Train of Consequences (The scratching at the beginning that sounded like a train? Gone!)
Insomnia (No violin? WTF)

If you can find the originals at reasonable prices, go for them. Otherwise, the remasters are OK.

Concering "These Boots" on the re-master: Granted, I've not heard the original, but the new version cracked me up. Mustaine explains why he left it on the CD in the liner notes.

To me, the remasters were way better in terms of quality. Sure the old stuff is fine, except for maybe SFSGSW, but I just like better sounding music and that is what the remasters bring. I own them all. Nothing wrong with either really.

I just realized that the side casing of the Rust in Peace is part of a 5(or 6, can't remember) collection. If you collect all 5-6 CD's and put them in order, you will see Vic's face from the album cover.

Badass

Here's a review of the remasters: http://remasterhell.blogspot.com/2006/08/megadeth-remasters-2004.html

I'd say it's worth it. The originals will have far more dynamic range than the remasters.

This guy from YouTube said that they're gonna sell back the original CDs again. He heard the news on the Megadeth forums.

I highly doubt it though.
