Couldn't agree more mate.. Its a f*cking ridiculous practice, what really is the need eh? When a client wants a ridiculously loud record, I try and play really heavily clipped / shredded mix alongside a well recorded dynamic master at the same apparent loudness. Usually results in a few extra dbs of dynamic range. More engineers need to start doing this, giving a practical demonstration of the harsh side effects of the loudness war is the only way to get a good result that will stand the test of time.
