When I bought the new U2 album and all you can hear is this fuzzy distorted clipping shit all over it you know times are f****ed up! Yeah maybe Metalica could possibly sound ok with shit like that goin on but U2 doing it, gimmee a break.
Have a listen to "Red Gone Wild", very conservative levels for a new album.
Also -12 rms is'nt that loud, yeah it is loud but not compared with -8 to -6 rms which is where things are now.
I hav'nt bought any new music in ages for fear of wasting my cash on a busted shithouse sounding product. Glad your drunk, only a madman would say that without grog,
