I don't know what al the fuss is about, I've listened to Superman Returns, several times since Christmas and honestly can't hear anything wrong with it.
I have a Panasonic stereo system and always listen through Sennheiser Headphones (not everybody in our house shares my love of film music) and to me Superman Returns sounds fine.

Hey, I don't "hide" behind a screen name and all my criticisms do for you is increase your desire to beat me up, MV! I matter!
Also, check out this horrible idea I thought up just now!
Most labels have a presence on this message board (sometimes to trumpet their own releases, sometimes to encourage people to stop buying their releases, sometimes to write "IMHO" and transpose letters a lot). After all the funds have been funneled into acquiring the titles, when it comes to the actual production of the CD, why not seek out message board posts from the past to find out what people are looking for in an expanded release (for example, the Police Academy's source cue "El Bimbo" is just as important to some as the score itself)? Like a title-specific "Amateur Consultant." Yes, totally asinine, because you could pick one person and then 10 others would say, "Hey, I know that score WAY more than that Croatian dildo!"
Just for the sake of conversation I thought I'd throw it out there. Peck away, vultures!

Both the MATRIX RELOADED and SUPERMAN RETURNS album masters were composer-approved.

The composer? Pah! What does he know about how his music ought to sound and be presented?
I wonder if the producers of the sets force the composers to sit in a room with them to listen to the playback on good speakers, or if it's an earbuds situation and a "Yeah, whatever, go for it, champ!"

The problem here is we can't take a nameless customer such as yourself seriously. You hide behind a computer screen and spout hateful bs on labels (consistently). You are pissing and moaning about Doug Schwartz's mastering job on Superman Returns and referring to us as kids? Doug is a highly respected engineer who has more experience in this field than anyone we have ever worked with. Who do you think mastered most of the FSM releases?
Do yourself a favor and stop buying our product if it makes you that unhappy. You'll live longer.

The typical cliché: just because someone is online he must be anonymous. You could have bothered to have a look at my profile where my blog is clearly stated. From there it´s easy to go to my Facebook profile.
I´m wondering too about Doug Schwartz, until now I didn´t have a reason to complain. And I´m going to do myself the favor you mentioned, I can assure you.
I could not recall any issues with Superman Returns, but then again I don't load up waveforms to see. I am definitely a supporter of criticism, but it must be somewhat constructive.
I listened first, then heard something and after that I had a look at waveforms. That has been my 'modus operandi' for quite some time.
Both the MATRIX RELOADED and SUPERMAN RETURNS album masters were composer-approved.
I won´t comment on that.
From the comments made by most of the people it´s clear to me that no one hears what I´m hearing. I also admit that my criticism was worded too harshly. Please accept my apologies for that.
To explain why I was reacting that way: I was very happy when LLL announced the release of the 2-disc set. I already owned the OST from 2006 so I expected the same sound quality. Upon listening to the LLL set for the first time yesterday my expectations were sadly crushed. Disappointed about the sound quality I perceived as being closer to 'Unspeakable-'level than OST-level, I wrote (oh well, complained) about it, expecting to perhaps receive an answer beyond a not-so-funny picture of 'Chinatown' (I got the 'obsession'-point).
As one person put it: 99% of listeners cannot hear it. Which either means, that I´m imagining things, most of you don´t understand what you´re listening to or that I´m too obsessed / old-fashioned when it comes to sound quality. Either way, I´ve understood I won´t change anything by saying anything. Which is the reason I´m now leaving this discussion.

I named everything for myself as they appear on the CD. I just listed in the comments section on iTunes for myself (Superman themes by John Williams) but put the composer and artist as John Ottman, with Williams getting composer credit on the Main Titles and the End Credits. To each his own I suppose.
