Metallica Death Magnetic - CD vs. "Guitar Hero" comparison
There's a lot of talk going on about the LOUDNESS WARS. Supposedly, producers are competing to achieve maximum loudness before reaching a distorted sound.
Some say Death Magnetic, the latest Metallica album, has fallen victim to this. This video allegedly shows the difference between the "compressed" CD Version of the audio and the "uncompressed" audio that can be heard on Guitar Hero.
I think people are missing the point here: When you're talkin about one of the biggest bands in the world, nothing happens by chance. If the CD sounds like it does, it's because it's aesthetically supposed to sound like that. Period.
A lot of people missed the point in Metallica's previous album "Saint Anger", screaming that it had "bad sound". It didn't. It's actual a quite innovative and ingenious production.
Plus, Industrial bands have been "destroying" sound definition for ages, for aesthetics sake.
What's your guys take on this? I'd really like to know.
