Ugh right from the start these remixes could of been excellent. But Richard Carpenter doesn't know how to remix plus I hear they were done in 1991 well that explains the crappy quality.. He drenched his sister in reverb in every track and it sucks. Frankly someone who's a expert in remixing needs to remix the whole catalog. Also the music just gets lost in REVERB ECHO whatever. Trying to make their sound big. Well in 2018 it doesn't work. Maybe I'll get used to it but I doubt it. The vinyl box set was done from CD's since the 2 track tapes are pretty damaged. Going back to the multi tracks is the only way. But this isn't it. It's too digital and just yuck.
