Reissue unfortunately not an improvement on the original CD release. In fact, it's worse. It doesn't sound better - it just sounds louder, and is massively brick walled. Only upside to this one, is that the overall soundstage has been tightened up, with vocals and instruments placed further to the center.

Still a great album, though - I'll just stick with the CD version.

I was a bit unsure of the direction DH is taking, but it's definitely growing on me. I think the few sections with growl are much more dominant when paired with George's vanilla voice, than it is on the previous albums. It's a great contrast really, and I actually wish the album had a bit more of that. I've had a single listen this morning and I'm looking forward to a few more the rest of the day. Also, this album is very, very well produced. It has great depth, dynamics and lots of layers.
