16,000 Metallica sign an online petition to re-master Metallica's new album because its too loud !
BBC streamed program about this
Maybe you've listened to a CD recently that's been SO loud its unpleasant to listen to. Recently even some acoustic /vocal albums Ive heard have suffered badly from this. Anyway, hope you find it interesting :)

That's funny. It's a bit ironic that Metallica fans would complain about volume, no? I would expect something like this more from Kenny G fans...
Im really glad they have done this, Im getting a bit tired of having my ears raped with excessively loud music. Its not that the volume itself is loud, a lot of modern music is being compressed into a solid block of noise...its not a pleasant experience and ends up with the listener experiencing 'ear fatigue'
Exactly! One of the worst albums suffering this loudness war is Playing The Angel (Depeche Mode). I had to get a vinyl rip to listen to it properly.
