Who ever thought it sounded good this way? I think it's because headphones weren't widely used back then. (lemmy.ml)

No, like songs I listen to today on Spotify or from TV shows during that era sound weirdly compressed.

I think it's the tendency of producers in that era, around 2000-2010 was peak Loudness War, and many albums were pushed into clipping. IMO it started getting better through the 2010s as the emphasis on radio charts started to wane and listening habits shifted away from earbuds and portables.
