well, my friends - I've just listened to the 3 new tracks from a 320 kbps mp3 rip, and compared with the versions we heard from the BBC radio broadcast: MUCH BETTER.
The radio compression really ruined the dynamic range. Freddie's voice is right where it should be on TMBMTLTT
Bottom line: all three sound better on Forever

Where did you get them? I (as surely many) heard LK on spotify, and yes, much better.

Good news.

They've leaked... several places online as of this morning... I wanted to hear them before spending money on it, but I'll definitely be buying. (I'm a bit of a Queen completist)

I always thought mp3 was the shitty compresian...
I guess i have to wait til next week with my preorder
Yes, the whole album is on some site which kick[s]ass. Still, I doubt it that it's the final version, someone screwed up transfer and some parts are clearly louder on TMBMTLTT than others so one needs to be very careful while listening. The link posted by Mr Mouth goes to the same old leaked version (Radio BBC2) which you can recognise by the intro and the outro being cut so the effect of people cheering at the end is absent. The site which I've mentioned earlier has final version (more bass and Freddie is louder) but it doesn't maintain the same volume throughout the track so I personally will listen to TMBMTLTT when I'll buy the album.

I just wondered but what is the difference with the tracks that were remastered in 2014, I haven`t noticed anything myself. Other than the first three which are all new mixes, originally the Amazon page stated that mixes were either from the 2011 remasters or from 2014.....

Well, for instance Play the Game synth intro is omitted... so basically the 2014 remasters were edited in some way or another.

78% compressed mp3
Just listened and sounds shit and Freddies vocals are still drowned out, Jacksons voice is crystal clear and nice loud, imagine how much better this would of sounded had Mr Orbit not turned Freddies vocal down.
Jackson hardly sings on it what's the point having him on it i cant imagine loads of MJ fans rushing to buy it, it's more like a snippet.

The swelling ending in You Take My Breath Away is gone.
