Pretty funny to listen to one of the lowest-rated albums in that database in terms of dynamic range, Gray Data by Five Star Hotel: https://open.spotify.com/album/6Q8hkb14PqvyLVEdmWXiD9?si=H5w...

Makes RATM sound like easy listening. Which I suppose it is these days anyway.



...my go-to-album when the perils of excessive dynamic range is to be avoided (cough) is Neil Young's 'Weld' live album.

It basically has two states: 'on' and 'off'.

However, it DOES serve an artistic purpose.

If you get a decent pressing of Motörhead's 'No Sleep 'til Hammersmith', though, you'd be surprised at the dynamic range actually offered, contrary to popular (mis)conceptions about the Motörhead sound... :)
