Stop compressing our bloody music!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the worst: Metallica's Death Magnetic! Dynamic range of 3db! The New York Times had a report about this CD and the widespread use of compression in modern rock.

Compression, is all about.
Creating a wall of noise, so everything is at the same level, so you can "hear it all" even is noisy situations
Using it in the car (noisy background)
While walking outside (noisy background)

Compression also protects eardrums because you turn up the volume in those situations, if it wasn’t compressed you’d blow your ear drums out or blow up your ear buds on the first dynamic slam

And from what I’ve been told, compression saves quite a bit of "space" in streaming, downloads and transmissions.
Therefore it saves on costs and makes those companies even more money.

And what are we left with resembles nothing like what we were supposed to hear, and the artist/s intended.

Agreed. 

No, this https://dr.loudness-war.info/ is the best place to go to see if your issue of a particular album, has had the life compressed out of it or not.

Look at all the releases, and click on them for individual info like cat no. release date etc.
You’ll usually find the earliest date releases are have the best dynamics (green, light green) and the later are compressed (orange yellow red), which usually, re-master, streamed, download versions.
