O/T Death Magnetic

[SODMOD]

I can't listen it to on headphones. The compression and clipping is insufferable. Why master the cd sooo damn loud? It really sounds terrible on close listen.

I already thought that I was the only one who heard this, glad to see that I'm not alone on this. I like the new album, I listen to it in the car all the time, but when I play it on a proper stereo cd-player in my livingroom I don't like the sound at all (at times), especially when I listen to it on the headphones. It sounds like it was recorded too loud!
So, I agree with you on this!

I have bought the CD - great cover artwork btw. I have yet to listen to it with my headphones but I think the production is OK. Different, maybe too loud, but OK.

I just listened to it yesterday, and I like it. I didn't listen to St. Anger as everyone I talked to said it sucked. But this one sounds like a step towards Metallica going back to the heavier stuff.

i've given up on those candy boy frauds ever going back to what they were.

if i get the urge to hear a band that's taken the right step back to 'what they were', i'll just pop in the last one by Testament.

Death Magnetic is not for old ladies.

I say, give it a try.
