I think you'll always have a component of people who'll love the first album as-is. I'm one of them. If they never revisited it, I would've been ok with that. That being said, the flip side is that you would've always had another group of people thinking "what if..". What if Matt had used all of his current gear, applied his current understanding of mixing/mastering to the original? Now, no one will be able to ask that question anymore. And I agree, I'm always looking forward to their new stuff!
