I was at that original S&M concert conducted by Michael Kamen at Berkeley Community Theater way back when..... 

I  started paying attention to Metallica after reading the NY Village Voice review of MOP back in 1984. It was several years before I found the Elektra LP at my local Goodwill for $3. I already had the CD and did a comparison. I noticed an irritating high frequency grunge on the CD that wasn't present on the LP. The LP was way better sounding! Through the late 1980's and into the 90's Metallica became a staple on Rock FM radio. The band reached its peak with the Black album in 1993. From there it's been downhill with cr*p like Load/Reload, St. Anger, Death Magnetic ... up to the present day.

Death Magnetic was the focus of a NY Times article about the Loudness Wars in present day pop/rock music. A dynamic range of 3 db! I had the CD and found it sounded awful. Of course most death/black metal/thrash over the past few decades sounds equally limited in dynamic range.
