I bought and listened the itunes version and ... Damn this is a really good remaster! It really upgrades the songs!

I would love to hear a TROUBLE remaster with that quality of mixing now hehehe.

The remasters do sound very good. I'm happy with them. I still think they could have put more effort into this in terms of new content, but at least it sounds great.

Wow, Boys & Girls almost sounds like a remix Overall I love how the deeper bass on songs like Introudction and also how chords sound much cleaner. End roll was such a high-point to me, and I used to hate the album version when compared to the A BEST one hahahaha I love what they did to this album, A+ for the producer of this remaster!

Do we know who’s responsible for the mixing or do we have to wait for booklet scans to find out...?

It’s subtle work but it does sound better, especially her vocals, which can be a bit harsh on the ears lol. Everything sounds nicely balanced!

I wonder if Avex is mixing their releases different for CD and streaming services. For example, Utada's most recent albums physical releases have a different mix suited for home stereo systems and the version of streaming services is mixed in mind for earphones/headphones.

I honestly cannot stop raving about how good this remaster sounds. like, the entire album noticeably sounds better, but the first five tracks are my favourite parts to revisit over and over again. And Then and immature are now even more of a Banger.

There must be something wrong with my ears, because I tried listening to it in two different players, both with and without my earphones and I really don't hear much of an improvement but rather like some parts of the songs get lower and muffled which made me not enjoy it that much.

Might be just me then.

What kind of speakers or earphones you have? I think the difference is pretty bold but it is for sure the same songs.

Some of these comments crack me up!
This is a remaster - not a remix. They haven't adjusted a lot of the things you think they have.
