Yeah, absolutely. After all, Riot Act was recorded by the same guy and in the same studio as S/T and the end result sounds totally different because Brendan mixed it.
Nothing could have been done to the original tracks where its a lost cause, right?
A warm and full sounded S/T could be amazing.
No, I suspect the original tracks sound great.
The way the record sounds now is a result of Adam's mix, which is pretty flat and unadorned, which was made to sound really ugly by aggressive, super loud mastering.
Also, im sad that they seem to have abandoned the hoopla surrounding the reissues. Was really hoping for some Bside and outtake treatments from this period. Granted, we got a lot of them via Lost Dogs but considering the s/t outtakes that have surfaced i was hoping we'd get a little deeper with all that.

There were a few songs leaked with a different mix that sounded so fuckin good.
Alright, I've carted the Save You 7", Binaural, and The Box and it's almost $80 before shipping. What a shockingly expensive Pearl Jam month! And with no new material in almost 5 years.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I just posted about this in the other reissue thread--Pearl Jam's only done that with one of the vault releases (we were emailed codes), so I would be shocked if they did it again.
I'd love to hear a sound sample from Avocado - I recall the vinyl had a slightly different master or mix than the CD and it made it "better," but it was still harsh.
Binau/RA have always sounded great - really the only two PJ headphone albums.
You just made my decision for me.
