I definitely consider NIME to be best BG album. They tried to replicate the same level of complexity in their follow up albums, but the sound engineering and mixing just never felt the same. NIME sounds crisp and clear and every after is too layered and muddy

It seems to me that there are remasters that improved things a bit. I've always liked "A Night at the Opera", but it sounded strangely hollow, a bit like classical music or Metallica's Saint Anger. The 2017 remaster sounds more like metal. AFAICT, it's quite well done, not one of these shitty remasters that just increases compression and calls it a day.
