Did anyone else think they had accidentally put on Pink Floyd's dark side of the moon on the first track ?
Oh well in any case im three tracks into it before I thought there must be something wrong with my system... so i switched over to BLACK and lo and behold the sound stage and dynamics were back baby! So I have to say this new album FUCKING SUCKS BALLS!!11 what a bunch of cunts, ruining my music! fancy using ipod headphones to tune a song.

Real shame they decided to ruin an otherwise great album with utterly stupid mastering for ipods Sad
If you think im joking do an A / B comparison of BLACK and MAGNETIC without touching your levels :P (be careful you might just kill the cat if you have black at proper levels and then go to magnetic as the levels are just that pushed.)
I really wish they did go back to basics, such as quality mastering with properly represented dynamics of instruments but oh well everyone with ipods will think it sounds better.
