Glad they mentioned the Metallica album. It was really bad. Fortunately the Guitar Hero version, which didn’t have the horrible effects, leaked online. I think it’s what you get if you stream it (like Apple Music) but those CDs are never getting fixed.

There's three mixes. The original CD mix, the iTunes mix (which is the one currently on streaming), and the Guitar Hero mix. The CD is obviously the worst of the three. The iTunes mix is a legitimate improvement but still not as dynamic as the Guitar Hero mix. I have all three of these and only one of them do I actually enjoy listening to.
