According to mastering engineer Ian Shepherd, Metallica's new Death Magnetic album has a serious sonic problem: it has been compressed (in the audio sense of the word, not the file size sense) just about as much as it's possible to compress audio.

I listened to the Guitar Hero version of the album today and it did sound slightly different but I couldn't quite put my finger on what the difference was. I must be losing my hearing or just too old
