Here is Lars' comment on Death Magnetic's sound issues... 'There's a lot of the rock generation who have aged and who are now in their 40s, and who are still holding on to what was 20 or 30 years ago, and I don't fault that, whatsoever. But obviously compression plays a different role in music and mixing and mastering than it did 20 years ago or 30 years ago. And obviously, MP3s and online services and downloads it's a different game than it was. So obviously things sound different. You know, there's no right or wrong here. It's truly about tastes, and it's truly about what people prefer' *

Lars Also went on to say... 'A METALLICA record is too loud for people? That's a statement in itself. The irony of that. Welcome to the world of digital recordings, compression overload, MP3's. People are moving in a different direction and things are becoming more linear, less dynamic. We can't put out records for every niche in our fan base. We attract such a diverse group of people, we can't please everybody. METALLICA has made career out of doing what we need to do for ourselves I love the way the alb*m sounds. Rick pushed it as far as he needs to go. Did he push it too far, farther than some people wanted? Absolutely. In a world of compression, maybe it's too hot for some people. But there is some perverse beauty in knowing that a METALLICA record is considered too loud.' *

What Lars doesn't understand is that its not only Compression thats the prob, the alb*m CLIPS, It distorts, the drums distort, the vocals get distorted. That is not normal. Death Magnetic was not artistic choice it was a alb*m dynamically killed by Rick Rubin, the sound was raped and Lars is trying to defend it since its his band *

Exactly dude i agree. I just wish they'd have released it not clipping then it would have been a pretty much perfect album. I really hope they don't use rick rubin again for mixing. *

Metallica's big mistake was when they finished recording they left for a tour and left the Master tapes to Rubin and his crew to mix. Metallica should of been present during mixing and mastering sessions. I bet they learned from that! *
