I'm down. The first copy I have is crap anyway.

Hopefully theres effort put into this, making it sound better, not louder

Earache already released many classic albums with full dynamic range, but besides them being (generally) quieter, I can't tell any difference.

Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and quietest parts in terms of volume. You might find the overall perceived volume to be lower, but in a good listening environment these versions are way more detailed. And yes, for some people that will also mean that in order to hear the small (quiet) details you will have to turn up the volume more. These are probably the closest versions we'll ever get to what was actually committed to the master tape originally.

I know what dynamic range means. I can see by their waveform that they're less compressed, but I open an audio editor, pair up the 2 versions, normalize them, do an A/B test while they're playing, and unless my headphones suck, there's no noticeable difference to me.

Depth is not always noticeable unless you've been training your ears, also the high end (above 10kHz) is a tough cookie to discern even for seasoned audio engineers. Do a nulltest between the two. If the nulltest produces no audio then either you have the full-range version twice or we've been bamboozled....

What's so exciting about it?

I think and i state that training is VERY important in musical perception. disc vis mp3 and so
