Those FEL songs were created to be played in clubs at high volume, and that's how it has been for the past 40 years. They were the songs that least needed a volume increase because many of them were (sadly) already loud originally, and that's what happened: with even the slightest volume increase, they ended up sounding distorted on FEL (CD and streaming, but not on vinyl).

"True Blue 35th" sounds like s**t and I won't be convinced otherwise. The original had that "heated" mid 80s sound but was not distorted. Same as "Gambler" or some of the pre 1989 digital singles. For some reason most of them have not been that good. Even "Like A Prayer 30th" wasn't, honestly.
@Aiwa08is right. The "Like A Prayer" original album sounds absolutely perfect if you put up the volume. But of course it's never going to sound as loud as Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" or any other modern record and it shouldn't, really.
Remastering is a hard job, IMO. To keep the qualities of the original, while not making it louder just for the sake of it, and also please fans and new audiences... it's almost an impossible task. Even great objective remasters like Prince's "1999" or "Sign 'O' The Times" sounded like something was missing for me, being a big Prince fan. I acknowledge the hard work but simply prefer the originals.
Let's see what happens with Mado.

Yes, you are right. That is the reason why I've said "Although it seems that lately, they haven't been overdoing the volume as much".
In my opinion, the problem are the singles prior True Blue. I think after 1986 they have all stored in digital files, but before that date, they need to ditized that rare singles edits and remixes.

The who’s that girl dub is not bad at all. Even with the higher volume it still sounds much better than the vinyl rips

Ignoring the hideous cover and the questionablity of the choosen tracks for it, now why the hell would they even put among many songs, THIS one in her best of playlist???

Universal Pictures has cancelled her since she wants total control of the movie.
All her post Evita movies flopped so badly and none of them grossed more than 1m except post-Evita TNBT.
W.E. (12%) has the lowest score on rotten tomatoes after Swept Away (6%) & Body Of Evidence (8%).
I wonder will other movie companies willing to invest in her movie?
 

This picture!!

Btw when was the last time we saw her wearing jeans omg

Jennifer Lopez’s vanity project basically made her a laughing stock. I find it hard to be optimistic about this. 

My favorite one is the cartoon called Baby which is a parody of Music.
Hey Mr. OB put the stirrups on we're gonna birth this thing I'm carrying
Something something something I really need a caesarean, the cartoon is really clever and funny

So cute

I've always wondered - did Orbit do the production on Black Coffee Version 2 as well? 
Confirmed Orbit production on Discogs, sorry I don't have any All Saints CDs to reference but this version is lovely..

If you kids don’t cut that shit out, I’m turning this car around and no one is getting ice cream. Either worship or heckle Perry’s latest forgettable song.
