Bought the digital download of the OOTN remaster (mostly to get the live set) and IMO, they butchered the hell out of Take It To The Limit. To my ears, the counter melodies are moved forward/amplified enough to almost overpower Randy's vocal. In the back third, the chorus is jacked up enough that Randy sounds like he's almost in another room in places. Overall, the balance between the vocals just seems off (and, in my mind, I've always thought remastering was supposed to fix issues like that, not enhance them)… 

Again, that's what my ears are hearing. But my ears aren't quite as sharp as they once were, so I'm curious if anyone else is hearing it that way too…
