█ OK, so we know the tracklisting isn't anything new, but this has been
█ remastered again for 2009. This differs in bitrates from the 2001 remastered
█ that was released then, and the 1992 original release, which leads us to
█ believe it's been remastered again for 2009. We quote from John Payne of
█ WIDEawake/Death Row:
█
█ "We're re-releasing "The Chronic," and it's going to be called, "The Chronic
█ Relit." It will be remastered with a couple more songs that were done at that
█ same time as well as a lot of footage and artwork. We're remastering it so
█ that it works with todayÆs technology, but weÆre not changing the mixes or
█ doing anything like that."
█
█ We included the bitrates of our internal 2001 remaster VBR using LAME -V2
█ --vbr-new and a couple tracks from the original 1992 release, all with
█ different bitrates. As such, we felt this should be released. The bonus
█ tracks unfortunately are on the DVD only with .m4a format =\.
█ We're willing to take the bullet on this,
█ so if we get nuked on this, atleast you have one of the greatest albums ever
█ made in VBR...

█ With its stylish, sonically detailed production, Dr. Dre's 1992 solo debut,
█ The Chronic, transformed the entire sound of West Coast rap. Here Dre
█ established his patented G-funk sound: fat, blunted Parliament-Funkadelic
█ beats, soulful backing vocals, and live instruments in the rolling basslines
█ and whiny synths. What's impressive is that Dre crafts tighter singles than
█ his inspiration, George Clinton ù he's just as effortlessly funky, and he has
█ a better feel for a hook, a knack that improbably landed gangsta rap on the
█ pop charts. But none of The Chronic's legions of imitators were as rich in
█ personality, and that's due in large part to Dre's monumental discovery,
█ Snoop Doggy Dogg. Snoop livens up every track he touches, sometimes just by
█ joining in the chorus ù and if The Chronic has a flaw, it's that his relative
█ absence from the second half slows the momentum. There was nothing in rap
█ quite like Snoop's singsong, lazy drawl (as it's invariably described), and
█ since Dre's true forte is the producer's chair, Snoop is the signature voice.
█ He sounds utterly unaffected by anything, no matter how extreme, which sets
█ the tone for the album's misogyny, homophobia, and violence. The Rodney King
█ riots are unequivocally celebrated, but the war wasn't just on the streets;
█ Dre enlists his numerous guests in feuds with rivals and ex-bandmates. Yet
█ The Chronic is first and foremost a party album, rooted not only in '70s funk
█ and soul, but also that era's blue party comedy, particularly Dolemite. Its
█ comic song intros and skits became prerequisites for rap albums seeking to
█ duplicate its cinematic flow; plus, Snoop and Dre's terrific chemistry
█ ensures that even their foulest insults are cleverly turned. That framework
█ makes The Chronic both unreal and all too real, a cartoon and a snapshot. No
█ matter how controversial, it remains one of the greatest and most influential
█ hip-hop albums of all time.
