List your top picks here. We can take metallica's death magnetic as a given, though the interview I read with the mastering engineer says that the mixes were already slammed when he got them.
Arjun Lucasson's second Space Metal album. And I really wanted to love it too... Some great stuff and massive guitars, but I can really hear the compressor pumping
Porcupine Tree - The Incident. Not sure exactly what it is, but that album seems really fatiguing and starts to grate. I have not yet managed to make it all the way through. Still a huge fan of PT and SW.
Panic at the Disco - I Write Sins... As mentioned in another thread.
Not bashing the bands, or the songs. Maybe it is just me and I got a little bit sensitive to this stuff after doing a bunch of mastering myself. I think this board has some discerning listeners, so I'd be interested to see opinions.
