    My Bloody Valentine's Loveless LP? Every time I go up in equipment, I think it might magical make the recording clearer than what I heard originally in the '90s on radio with bad reception.

    Hasn't happened.

    Imagine Dragons first album. Good songs ruined by horrendous mastering.

    Personal nitpick, not among the "worst" ever but I hate what happened with Florence and the Machine's first two albums. I love Ceremonials save for how badly it was mastered.

    Oh. And Metallica - Death Magnetic. Famous one, that.

    Muse "Absolution" is beyond the pale bad. Close second is probably Mars Volta "Noctourniquet" . one of THE worst examples of nerfed dynamic range and overall loudness.

    Mute Math is a real shame as the music is really good.

    If we're talking worst commercially released recording rather than bad mastering: The Legendary Stardust Cowboy - 'Paralyzed'.

    Labyrinth by Fleshgod Apocalypse. Absolutely stunning metal album, ruined with a DR2-4 master
