The Worst Mastered CD Release You ve Encountered

All the Jimi Hendrix reissues sanctioned by his family/estate. Eddie Kramer removed all the dirt and wierdness from his originals, and gave us Hendrix in pristine digital coldness, with off of the cool sounding wierdness removed. -- This is one of those cases where the bad production had balls.

Paul McCartney 'Memory Almost Full'. Like you can only really hear the top half of any single sound on it. Compressed to shit.

Much as I love listening to it, I have to agree with this. But then Dethklok is supposed to be totally Protools-happy, so maybe it's on purpose?

I do understand that they are a joke band, but do they really need joke production to go with it? I mean, really. Now, imagine if they had the production of Burzum.

Thought not fitting for an "Awful" description, I definitely think Disco Volante could be have quite a bit louder without damaging the dynamic integrity. I am always reaching for the volume no matter what album was on previously.

Regina Spektor "Begin to Hope"

Not a great album, but I love her voice. She has amazing dynamics which are completely ruined by the mastering on this album. It has "beer commercial" compression.

In retrospect, I should have stepped off the stage and utter-kicked Mrs. O'Leary's cow.

Crazy Rhythms by the Feelies immediately pops to mind. I get the feeling that it'll finally be remastered though as they just played a show with Sonic Youth.

I've listened to Deep Purple's Machine Head recently, and I must have an early remaster or something because it sounds like dogshit.

Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.
