The albums Mr Rubin produces are generally loud, which is what Metallica wanted. Californiacation is probably one of the loudest songs ever. It's ok to have a loud album if it is done properly, from what I have heard it is. There hasn't been any dynamic range in any contemporary songs since the early 90s, now with mp3s it’s even worse, so I don't know what the fuss is a bout. This seems like a slightly sophisticated topic for NME to be writing about...
