this is basically when you can't stand the way the cd was mixed for what ever reason (too much bass, overtly compressed, ect)
my take would be Damien Rice's "O", mainly because the bass is mixed WAY to loud, and has a compressed sound as well. listen to "blowers daughter" from about 2:10 to about 2:39, the vocals kind of have a muffled sound because of the extreme bass use. if a dueldisc version of this album comes out, i'd be all over it.
i also think there is a lack of a full bass on all pre black album metallica albums. sure the bass drum is fine, but the bass is mixed too low, hell, the only time you can really hear the bass at all is when Cliff solos (and untill i saw "live shit binge and purge" on dvd, i always thought the bass solo on "for whom the bell tolls" was a guitar solo. so if they can some how remix the early metallica albums, that would be great. Even st. anger lacks a deep bass (but thats probably because Bob Rock played bass on the album and they wanted a not so polished sound.)
