Everything that Megadeth remastered, the fucking sound of the drums is too awful

Have you ever seen them play any of those tracks live? Because they don't sound very different. There literally isn't one single thing wrong with the mastering on that album.

Was going to post this next. I don't know how they managed to accomplish that. It sounds amateur.

vocals are so outta wack and someone is gonna tell me thats the point

you're right, i haven't heard built to spill live, and it's just my opinion. when i listen to this album on my cans every sound seems to be equally loud and it feels too crowded for my taste.

everything up until now by the standards of the future XD

I just listened to the first three tracks, and this is definitely a casualty of loudness. All you need to do is play carry the zero at 4 minutes in.

It's not the worst offender, but they definitely went a little overboard on the comrpession

Do you mean the mastering or the mixing?
Because you can't say a mastering is bad unless you have heard the master tape

>>72552209
No, you can clearly tell when a song has been overly mastered. When it's done right it's impossible to tell, but it's usually clear when mastering has fucked it up. Note this is only really the case when you listen to the album as a whole. Of course, the negatives could be attributed to mixing as well, but for the most part the mastering mistakes are clearly mastering mistakes. This is most easily seen by observing the dynamics of the album, or the eq of an entire frequency [range]. (not a single instrument)

I said "when a song has been overly mastered" I meant to say album.
