Metallica Guitar Hero Release Has Higher Quality Than CDs

Posted by Soulskill on Friday September 19, 2008 @12:58PM from the facepalm dept.

Last week Metallica released a new album, Death Magnetic, on traditional CDs as well as downloadable content for Guitar Hero III. Fans quickly noticed that the sound quality on the CD version was noticeably below-par, thanks to the recording studio's decision to sacrifice range for loudness. However, the tracks released for Guitar Hero III made no such sacrifice, as proved by Mastering Engineer Ian Shepherd. NME found an audio clip comparing the two tracks. This comes alongside statements from Activision claiming that Aerosmith's recent venture into Guitar Hero is generating more success for the band than their actual albums.

This guy shoots an 11 year old girl and a jury gives him $300k because he slept on a dirty mattress? He should be sleeping at the bottom of the Hudson River! What the fuck is wrong with America?
P.S. - Metallica pussed out after 1995. Now, whenever I think of Metallica, I think of a foul-smelling, cheesy snatch.
