yeah i truely aborr modern mastering… everying thing is so heavily compresssed, squashed and distorted ..it sounds lifeless and bloody awful..

heres another article on the matter with some indepth comparisons on a number of named recordings.. Btw, as i suspected.. ‘la vida loca’ is one of the trashiest mastering jobs ever ..its painful to listen to (for more than one reason).
