Death magnetic gh3 mix

call me uber-suspicious but can this be a fucked up copy protection lars put on the tracks. like the sound gets distorted if copied to HD but due to a mistake is now always distorted?

Seriously though, if you are [in marketing], do [kill yourself].

Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers. Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no fucking joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your fucking soul, kill yourself.

Well.. i'm rockin' the GH3 mix @ work and it's quite enjoyable to listen, maybe i'll even buy the album and put it on the shelf (done it a few times)

Anywho, my mate at work said that there was something strange about the metallica cd, when i showed him the comparison between the two mixes he was shocked. Other mate said he can't hear it, but his headphones have bass boost and mids cut to non-existance so whatever. Anywho, the guys at the office think it's some kind of marketing gimick, the just can't tell why and what it is (God, i hate working in advertising, everything and your mother is a marketig gimick nowadays)

Well, how many people havent they fooled to buy GH3 now? :lol:
 
So, I bought St. Anger the first day it came out. I don't remember listening to it more than once. I haven't put it on since. I threw it on today just to compare or try and force myself to dig it. I couldn't make it through the third song. I couldn't wait for the first two songs to end. This new album is just phenomally better. Even with the clipping, I can't stop listening to it.
 
IF by any chance, they remix/remaster this album on CD, which I really doubt but we can hope... I'd be shocked if they don't give that copy away at a far inferior price to those who have bought the first version before.

You know thinking of it... they'd even make more money with another version of the same album, given the fact that a lot of people will buy the better sounding version :lol:

seriously, does anyone ever bother reading more than just the post above your own before they write down the same things someone else has already brought up?

Hmm, strange. Most of my non-audio-freak friends have told me it sounds like their speakers will explode and complained about the distortion. It's probably the first time I ever hear the casual listener complain about a mix :O

Strange indeed. At the radio station I work for nobody "complained" either. I asked one guy how he liked the sound and he said "it distorts a little bit". So he obviously noticed the clipping but didn't seem too bothered with it.
I definitely have to ask a few more guys around there.

I'm gonna ask another (far-from-audio) friend what he thinks about it tonight.

But really the only complaints I've heard so far (apart from my own) were on the interwebs.

From what I've heard a local shop ordered 2,000 copies of Death Magnetic (the most they could get) and they were sold within an hour (mostly via Mailorder). If they could have gotten their hands on as many copies they could have sold 25.000! :zombie: That's how many requests they had for the record.
And this is a store in a city with roughly 250,000 inhabitants (in a country with ~8m people living in). Just imagine if all of these requests would have come from that city: 10% of the people living here would have wanted Death Magnetic. :loco:
 
Is it just me or is this scenario possible? Metallica in reality knew this recording was going to sound like shit...and had engineers do this to get the needed publicity for this new album....because come on, the music alone will not sell like the older material.

I mean after all the napster bullshit in the past it's weird how all of a sudden the music goes to crap...recordings are garbage, first St. Anger and now DM....is this they're way of saying "fuck you" to the internet age and all the people that download music? Just a hunch or am I way off base here...I just find it funny how the once greatest band in the world all of a sudden can't even put out a decent albums after 25+ years in the business.
 
er, id say youre way off base. I think they have every right to say fuck you to the illegal downloaders, not that they have tho, and to be honest I'm glad someone went to fight napster. The only people that bitched about that were the ones stealing anyway.
