Descripción de Metallica: Death Magnetic Discussion on BBC Radio 4 (Part 2):

Discussion of the new Metallica album "Death Magnetic" on the BBC Radio 4 program "You and Yours", broadcast on the 10th of October, 2008. Includes interviews with two longtime Metallica fans and their views on the mastering issues with the new album, as well as a discussion with mastering engineer Ian Sheperd. I highly recommend visiting Ian Shepherd's blog at http://mastering-media.blogspot.com/ where he talks at length about the "Loudness Wars", of which Death Magnetic is sadly a serious casulty. I also recommend viewing the following video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRyIACDCc1I ) for a more illuminating comparison between the retail CD and the Guitar Hero 3 version, since the processing applied to radio broadcasts makes the difference much less obvious here. The original broadcast can be streamed for a short time from the official website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/ PLEASE NOTE: It is not my intention to infringe on anyones copyright by sharing this, I just feel that the view expressed here deserve to be heard by a wider audience.
