Speaking to Blender, Ulrich added: "(Producer) Rick Rubin’s whole thing is to try and get it to sound lively, to get it sound loud, to get it to sound exciting, to get it to jump out of the speakers. Of course, I’ve heard that there are a few people complaining. But I’ve been listening to it the last couple of days in my car, and it sounds ****in’ smokin'."

Update: The LP vinyl has an obvious "Warmer" sound to my ears compared to the compact disc version...So there is definitely some compression on the regular compact disc compared to the LP vinyl version.
for example, I compared the size of the vinyl versions "Great Day" (32.7MB) to the compact disc versions data size (32.4MB) so the loss of data due to compression was only a 0.3 degradation, but I am at a loss for words to explain how that 0.3 explains HOW much warmer/rounder/fuller the vinyl version in comparison sonically. But the spectral graph's I used (ie foobar2000) show the obvious that the vinyl is the superior in dynamic range.
Trust me folks, It you have a choice between the vinyl version and the compact disc...Chose the vinyl !!!
