I have too many albums that are compressed to hell and back. Most people don't seem to care, but a lot of albums - especially metal albums - sound like crap these days. It seems the problem with overzealous compression was bigger a few years ago. Most albums I get my hands on that sound really good are jazz, classical, singer/songwriter or world music. Most metal albums with good sound quality are either really, really old or from very small, obscure labels.
