One of the lame things about the music industry's output nowadays is how rampantly over-compressed the music is. Below, you'll find an article about how the new Metallica album, Death Magnetic, is compressed to a point where all the dynamic tendencies of the notes have been vaporized. The article also talks about how the the studio that does Guitar Hero is re-cutting it for the next game in the series, adding all the dynamic qualities back into the album. There's even a suggestion that someone should rip the Guitar Hero version and let fans download and keep that copy. Hey Metallica! What you should do right now is remaster the album and give the fans a choice on the website of which version they want.
P.S. Shame on you Rick Rubin, you should know better.
