I like the new album, tune wise...and I liked the mastering.

Now, don't get me wrong. I agree that the Loudness War has gotten out of hand, and by and large, I also prefer mixes that "breathe" naturally.

But for the type of music and the material, I think the cruddiness and compression actually works. It's very abrasive, but for Metallica, that might just be what is needed.

Just my opinion. Flame away!
Sorry man, can't have it both ways...
