I cant stand when I buy a cd (metallicas new album) and it sounds distorted. Louder is not better.

I haven't really heard that album yet, but just about every review I ever hear about complains about the sound quality, which is a shame. Maybe some talented editor will take a stab at it. ;) Think it could be done, based on what you hear? (if it's simply too loud and gets distorted/farty, maybe nothing can be done about it) I wouldn't be surprised if they release a remastered/fixed version someday.

not to get too off topic here, but that Metallica album had a different (read: much better) mastering for the video game "Guitar Hero" (I think it was that game). Anyway, there were fan-rips of this floating around. And Metallica (read: Lars) claimed that it was bullshit, and they wouldn't release another version of the album

To veer back on topic... I am really looking forward to listening to this set. Sounds amazing.

Here's the comparison:

It's sad really, what has happened to music...
