OFF: Latest casualty in the loudness wars

[Carl Edlund Anderson]

I rather expected the new Metallica to be outrageously over- 
compressed, and what I heard certainly didn't disappoint my  
expectation (in contrast with my ears ;)).  Interesting that the  
Guitar Hero version is better, though!  I wouldn't have predicted  
that.  I wonder what the explanation is (beyond the obvious that the  
versions of the tracks sent to the gaming people went out before the  
versions for the CD were "smashed to f**k").

Cheers,
Carl
