The Wonder Years have remastered their 2015 record No Closer to Heaven for its 10th anniversary. This record always sounded a little muddled, but I had assumed this was an intentional choice. Perhaps I’m the only person that made this connection, but the letlive. record from the same year, The Blackest Beautiful, was similarly muddled and also recently got the same remastering treatment, and their lead singer Jason Aalon Butler is featured on “Cigarettes and Saints”.
The remastering really breathes new life in to this album. I won’t say I’ll *never* return to the original, however I do think I’m partial to this remastered version.
