Very true.
Just compared some old vs. new Cannibal Corpse in Audacity, album Kill (new) vs. Tomb Of The Mutilated (old). Now, the music is very intense, so there is no huge gaps, but difference was huge visually. And not just visually, new sounds like utter crap. In old album, instruments sound real, if bit muffled (but thats just different overdrive used). In newer, its totally hot and flat, and bass in even distorts/clips/cracks. Sounds more "brutal" at first listen (quite common nowadays deathmetal actually), but it annoys the hell out of me. Its just louder, not more brutal.

But a clipping CD is not a CD anymore. It's simply defective. What makes it so difficult for these people to understand that it's not possible to have a sound louder than 0db pressed on the stupid CD? |
