Yes, I remember it being on the Radio 4 news. They played bits of the CD and
"Guitar Hero" versions to show the difference. My thoughts were that if even
Heavy-Metal fans were complaining about over-compression then the industry
really had lost the plot.


That alone was enough to stop me even thinking about buying it.


I'd pay good money, if necessary, to avoid having to listen to any
heavy-metal!
