is the new rolling stones goats head soup deluxe reissue worth it?

Sam here and after running my own test on the new rolling stones goats head soup reissue as far as the original album goes the new reissue and the 2009 remaster have the same dynamic range to the point of saying they are one and the same.Have a look https://i.postimg.cc/QtW9HQ34/5.png All they did was apply some reverb to the 2009 remaster. For the record company to release something this unlistenable proves my point that they are purposely distroying music.

Not sure I follow. Mick Jagger has been doing just fine making the Stones unlistenable. What do the record companies have to do with it?

Why would the rolling stones allow this to be put out in this condition? mick jagger couldn’t listen to the crap and he wrote it.lf they had the loudness war police there would be no music left.Wake up people this ain’t no conspiracy this is FACT! And they wonder why people file share? can they even give this away and who pays for the medical bills when you can’t hear.

The 2020 version is not a remaster, it's a brand new remix by Giles Martin.  Sounds pretty good to me.

Only you can answer that question. IMO of the 26? studio albums they have released this falls somewhere in the middle. My advice is find the best original pressing and be willing to pay for it. At least 4/5 times the original pressing has better sound quality then any type of reissue.

Since I absolutely despise The Rolling Stones, I would say no, don’t waste your money.

I thought the Qobuz streaming version sounded pretty good, better than a lot of Stones stuff tbh.

However I just played my mono vinyl of Flowers and THAT is nicely done but it was 1967... Lol.

Just another example of "just find a clean period press, and be done with it!"

Listening to Rolling Stones music isn't about silly audiophool obsession..

@stereo5 just pulling your leg - I like Floyd also. But always a Stones fan....

Speaking of Pink Floyd - have you heard any of David Gilmore's early solo records - they are excellent.

i always thought goat was an underrated record--dancing with mr d and heartbreaker are mere product, but mick does a good job with all those ballads + star star is as wild as anything they've done. the demos and bonus tracks on this reissue are nothing special, but there's a really, really solid live set.

This guy is so far off it's a joke.

There was a couple 2009 remasters, which one does he mean? Wait, he doesn't know. 

He really thinks that record companies bring in and pay mastering engineers to "apply some reverb" and call it done. Unbelievable.

The claim they are the same based on DR is horse crap. That's only one way of analyzing a recording. What about the mix itself, or EQ changes. Oh wait, he didn't think of that.
