> I recall listening to a vinyl rip of Lady Gaga's first album, and found that "Pokerface" was much more enjoyable with the additional dynamic range. I was skeptical of this, so I sought out a copy on Youtube[0]. "Better" is subjective, and this is definitely lower quality overall (given the Youtube compression). But it is undeniably a very different song. I've listened to the CD version of this song countless times, and I don't think I ever remember hearing the male voice in the intro so prominently. For someone hearing the song for the first time (or even the first few), it may not be as obvious, but as someone who's used to hearing that song on a regular basis, it definitely jumps out as having a crisper sound.
