When the band/artist gets enough of an ego that they decide to "produce their own album" this time.

if an album is badly mastered, then the sound levels of individual tracks are inconsistent, creating a jarring listening experience

The classic Stooges albums always had crap production which is why as soon as he got the chance, Iggy brickwalled the hell out of them.

This one's very lo-fi, sounds like it was recorded in someone's basement or something

I hate that you can't hear the drums and the vocals in Rush's albums

Bowie only produced Raw Power, but he did make it sound way too tinny and low-fi.

Most metal albums are mixed horribly.

I like Prince but what the fuck. Those snares hurt my ears. Ironically his snares are one of my favorite things about his music lol

One of a few poorly produced albums that can break through and still be enjoyable

So all mastering is is turning the volume up and down cool

Most non Jazz/Classical releases and "remasters" from about 2000 on.

Music mastered in the modern era is nearly unlistenable on a good playback system.

^^Common thing today. Percussion and bass (although bass in hip-hop is overemphasized) are squashed in favor of emphasizing vocals and the treble range, since those are the frequency ranges shitty ear buds and laptop speakers can best reproduce.
