This.
A number of artists' entire back catalogues have been rendered almost unlistenable as a result of this. Now it seems that there's a whole industry providing 'sensitive' rermasters (as is being discussed in terms of Death Magnetic, which
does sound
terrible) that try to correct the mistakes in the previous ones. I don't understand the technology involved, but why they can't simply take the masters closest to the original, transfer them to CD and have done with it, I'll never know. Unless of course they simply want fans to keep buying the same albums over and over again ... surely not!
