Failing that, someone will eventually record themselves playing the song perfectly within the game and distribute it via bit torrent, and then Metallica's label will have another thing to get upset about.

Shepherd links to a Metallica forum claim ( registration required) that the band was not present during the mixing or mastering of Death Magnetic. If this is true, and Jensen (whom the Death Magnetic liner notes identify as having mastered the album) received the mix in such a compressed form, it looks like the engineers who mixed the album before it was sent to the mastering facility вЂ“ identified by Chris Vinnicombe of MusicRadar as Greg Fidelman and Andrew Scheps вЂ“ are to blame, although ultimately, the fault lies with the arms race to have the loudest sounding albums regardless of what that does to musical nuance. 'Believe me I'm not proud to be associated withthis one, and we can only hope that some good will come from this insome form of backlash against volume above all else.' 'As you can easily see,' he writes, 'the CD version on the bottom has been heavily compressed, limited and/or clipped, and sounds massively distorted as a result.' Later analysis showed that the CD is 10 dB louder than the Guitar Hero version, which sounds about twice as loud to the ear, according to one description. He says some parts are actually distorted from digital clipping. However, according to Shepherd, the problem goes beyond compression. Television advertisers use similar technology to get the most bang for their buck volume-wise, which is why ads often sound so much louder than television programs. Part of the 'loudness war,' this type of compression is designed to make music sound as loud as possible at the expense of dynamic range (the difference between loud and softer sounds).

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.
