I'm not a huge Metallica fan so I don't care about this particular instance, but I can clearly hear the difference in this and have heard other songs with similar mixing to produce the maximum perceived loudness at the expense of definition or clarity, and I think it sucks.

Weird. Seems to me that "loudness" is going to be defined by the listener anyway, so you'd want it to sound good at any level. Can anyone explain why they would do this?
It sounds like a strategy Spinal Tap would use.
