Dude, no offence, but are you serious? You'd like to have all Tool albums remastered? Did you listen to Lateralus? Man, even their first official record (Opiate) sounds good. Lateralus is soundwise actually one of the greatest(!) rock/metal records I have ever heard, and hey, I have heard many records. I actually dislike quite a number of records David Bottrill (producer of this record) mixed/produced, but his job on Lateralus is truly, TRULY precious. Most people are like "dynamics, dynamics, dynamics!", but this is not the whole story. Lateralus is not just a record with a lot of headroom, but it is also... Hell, I can't even describe it. To me, it's as if I can just put my hand into that record and grab whatever instrument I like. Nothing is muffled, distant in an annoying way that probably wasn't intended by the artist(s), there is no ridiculous amount of compression - it is just the talent of this band, tinned. This is how refined it is, this is how music ought to be recorded/produced/mixed/mastered. It sounds great without HDCD decoding, and with it sounds even better. Technically, there is no remastering needed. And hey, I'm not planning to sound cocky here, but I think that I'm not alone with this opinion.
