This makes you thinking
I will say I have heard some bad remasters. I've been importing CDs from Japan lately for some artists that never had releases stateside, and one of the things that I appreciate about these albums is the dynamics. I have so far gotten 1/6 that I prefer the youtube upload of because the dynamics are just killed on the remaster CD I'm getting. But, at the same time, that low dynamic range has it's advantages - namely a more consistent signal to noise ratio when you get in a loud environment like most cars or having headphones on while exercising, etc. I've checked all the albums that sound best to me while driving and not one of them has more than 10db of dynamic range. I'm not saying that that is good or that's what you want all the time, just that it does solve a problem and it has it's place for music that needs to cut through a lot of noise like EDM at a club or something. I definitely don't want my classical or jazz to sound like that (though at one time Jazz probably did sound like that since it was the dance music of the day).
