Article in Stereophile about dynamic range of recordings and a database. Apparently record companies thought people were more likely to buy a record if it was recorded louder, losing it's dynamic range. (I guess ad agency morons believe the same thing and CRANK commercials on tv in hopes of us buying more penis pills.)
Seems that the practice came to a head with a Metallica album "Death Magnetic" where fans were pissed at the terrible sounding recording and demanded a re-release.
