BABYMETAL is a japanese band which consists of 中元 すず香, 水野 由結 and 菊地 最愛 plus the KAMI BAND which is the Backing Band for the project. Published as BABYMETAL, the first compiled studio album of the group has different releases including vinyl/LP:
~Dynamic Remaster~
The Japanese fandom made this remaster trying to recover the lost dynamics that were taken from the songs when brick walling it on the mastering process to get the tracks louder. This is an attempt to fix the album from the loudness war as the victim it is, It went from DR4/DR5 To DR12 so it has an improvement as whole but it is far from perfect as I was told when getting it from the fandom on Akiba.
For the people who doesn't know about this: The digital and CD versions of BABYMETAL albums are compressed to be louder and have a lot of ''volume'' from the get-go compromising the sound making it muddier, so this version is the opposite and has it's dynamics back and it doesn't has as much volume as you are used to so you may be surprised to. This changes will be more noticeable on high end music gear, so you could be noticing a better soundstage clarity and headroom, still that changes are more apparent on some songs rather than others. I repeat, this is far from perfect but since some audiophiles or other people could be interested on this, I upload it so you could have it and check if it sounds better to you.

Didn’t know they did that with the albums, that’s kind of strange. So if you want the perfect version, you pretty much gotta buy the hi-res flac version? If they even have it for any of the albums, especially these 2 older ones…
Thanks!! I’ll choose this over the original, since it’s definitely gotta be superior!
