5 stars These editions are terrific, but.....
If you already have the 1997 MCA editions of these (Are You, Axis, Ladyland), then you basically have these remastered versions minus the (short) DVDs. There's really no discernable difference in audio quality between these 2010 remasters and the 1997 remasters. They sound identical.

So take the five star review for the quality of the music, keeping in mind you may already have these versions in you…
