Are the BEST 2 songs actually any different from the original?

Are the BEST 2 songs actually any different from the original? I know that in the commercials, etc. they said that the songs were remixed, but comparing it to the originals they sound, well, 100% the same. IS there a difference? Maybe just with certain songs? A BEST was resung on the old songs, but since that wasn't done with A BEST 2 I thought the instrumentals had gotten some kind of remix. I just don't notice it. Has anyone else noticed a difference between the A BEST 2 and originals?

I think they're just remastered. I can hear the difference in Real Me, Free & Easy and Memorial Address.

They were remastered by Brian Gardener i think was his name ...

If you listen, I think the intro to Greatful Days is also longer ...

All the songs are slightly different, i think ...

^ Like, Exodus said, they were remastered. I can hear it on evolution, too.

with the exception of part of Me , the rest of the songs on both A BEST 2's were remastered to make the songs more polished & stronger .

You can definitely tell the difference if you're listening to let's say INSPIRE from MY STORY & then INSPIRE in A BEST 2 -WHITE-

Hmm, yea, I hear the INSPIRE difference. Other then that not so much.. But still I'll use the BEST 2 versions from now on. Thx!
