Metallica's Death Magnetic was another truly dreadful example of the loudness war - Thankfully a better mastered release came out in 2015. I've just got my hands on this release and comparing it against my original copy it is a night and day improvement - especially on "All Nightmare Long".


Yeah, the first release was pure clipping, no music. I remember listening to it and saying? “Did all we wait for this? C’mon”.


Hah I had the same experience, I thought some idiot had recorded it via their soundcard line in or something.

Eventually got the better mastered version which was leaked from guitar hero or something.
