Thankfully Rick Rubin's production does kind of the same thing, so Reign in Blood still sounds loud as **** even if it's from 1986. But in general, I'm perfectly happy to have an album be senselessly loud, since I'm not as interested in the specifics as I am the overall effect. So I have an affinity for albums after the early nineties.
