    Check out the Dynamic Range Database, http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/

    One example, the 2010 Exile On Main St. is redlined to the max, completely unlistenable as confirmed by the assault on my ears.

    One should also note that it's not just CD's, lots of vinyl sucking badly.

    Edit: I didn't see that Erik had already posted a link, sorry.

    Looking forward to that flick as well, but still... It's worth calling attention to the Day.

    On the dr database site, what's also interesting is that they have some tracks that have been re-released over time and show the gradual loss of dynamic range with each re-release.
