Why are so many albums poorly remastered onto cd


It seems like every time I read a review of a remastered album onto CD everybody just bags on the quality and from some of my experiences, rightfully so.The quality of music is going away so quickly, why is it so hard to remaster a album?

It would be interesting to find out exactly how HD Tracks gets there Hi Rez stuff. Are they taken from original masters and remastered? Are the tracks just cleverly upsampled? Why are there differences in quality? I have seen some mainstream reviews claiming the Redbook CD sounds better the HD Track 24/96 or 24/192 issues.

Just curious. I'd like to know for sure before I buy.

Wouldn't it make since to remaster the originals before releasing them as HI Def? After all a bad sounding recording is going to stay a bad sounding recording whether it is Redbook, 24/96 or 24/192 isn't it?
