Are new Rush remasters better?


I went to my local music store and found that my favorite band Rush has come out with brand new remasters of all of their albums. They remastered (and repackaged) all their CD's. They're not special edition or anything, these new remasters simply replace the old CD's.

I'm curious to get opinions on how much better they sound (if they do) to know whether it's worth it for me to replace my existing CD's. Posts I've read elsewhere say some are bigger improvements than others, but I want the audiophile opinion.

Of course, I'm a little jaded after reading a few posts on here about CD's from the store vs. BMG. The computer tests show they are digitally identical, but people swear they hear differences.

You know whats funny? Nobody else has your ears. Why dont you buy one and make a decision on your own? I mean, what are we talking here 12 bucks a piece give or take. Nothing against asking others for opinions but like the first sentance said.... You have your own ears dont you?
Matt8268, how do you know that some are probaably much better improvements than others unless you listen to them for yourself. I didnt mean to sound harsh but I hear so much talk about this articile and this review but in the end I like to rely on my own ears. If I am perhaps remastered would that make me a MasterLinc or a RemasteredLinc?
