Please don't insult my intelligence by asking me to read anything about Chinese Democracy.

I think you are taking this mastering thing too personally. Just enjoy the music for what it is! If an album feels right, it feels right. If you don't like the way it sounds, don't listen to it.

Artists today do it because it is the only way their songs can be competitive on radio, film, and television. We are all victims of the loudness wars in that sense. So, true, maybe the artist doesn't want it to sound that way, but if they want their music to be commercially viable then they have to work with it. I think the TGF album achieved a nice balance in the mastering. These days that is about all you can hope for in the world of commercially viable rock albums.
