And they still haven't fixed the glaring error in Stay Beautiful from NT where the volume increases even more at 2:53.
Ironically, this one has been remastered by JDB and someone called Tim Young. I Googled him (Young, not JDB) and here's what I found.

Tim Young masters albums at the Metropolis Studios in London. He has impeccable credentials, having worked with bands from the Clash and the Smiths back in the 1970s to Madonna, Iron Maiden and the Sugababes today. "Everyone's chasing immediate impact," he explains. "What happens is all the loud parts of the album have to be as loud as the opening track. So you get a fatiguing effect. There's no light and shade in it."
...
Artists and record companies hope that louder music will stand out, but in practice the listener may just turn it down. Unfortunately, the techniques used to maximise the volume are damaging the music itself.

Hmmm, so there he is explaining everything he went on to do to GT. In his defence, this is the norm nowadays and fans moan about it with every remastered release. The complaints fall on deaf ears. I think that's the problem. The people who do these have gone deaf from all this noise. Not even joking.
The 2009 remaster is the best version to my ears and the one to use if you're still into making comps.
