| The mastering sounds like crap, yes - but so does the mix anyway IMHO. I mean, what's with the hi-gain guitar sounds!? - thin and wimpy...weak. And of course played with Kirk's horrible tone (the part of the tone that's in the playing, I mean)
As someone else suggested a few pages back - try listening back and forth between Death Magnetic and
Strapping Young Lad: Alien
Soilwork: Stabbing the Drama
Meshuggah: Obzen
...or something
It's embarrasing. Sure - neither of them are anywhere near as loud, but so what? Why not turn it down a bit - it's not like there's a valid counter argument or anything... |
