Anyone else hear this? Listening to No One Knows right now on my home rig and I'm pretty sure I can hear clipping on the louder parts. Which is kind of a shame since this is a really well recorded album for the most part. Anyone else notice this?

Oh yeah, this album sounds horrible in that regard. Tis a shame.

Yep it's quite unfortunate. Here is a screenshot of No One Knows.

It's funny you should mention that, as Songs for the Deaf is one of the twelve albums listed on the Loudness War page at Wiki.

Try any Mastodon album, I like 'em, but I can only stand it in my car.
And I gang stereo compressessors and think it's cool.

I really enjoy Mastodon albums, Leviathan is on my test list for new gear.

I wish they had paid as much attention to the loudness levels as they did when recording the drums... the drums! Great on this album.

i think Rated R was pretty well produced, for a modern rock album.

But SFTD is near enough unlistenable on headphones.. back when i was a kid and didn't even know what compression was i found it a difficult album to get all the way through

Yup, it's tough to sit down and listen to it
