I kind of hate to bring this up, but explosive dynamics requires recordings with high dynamic range. Unfortunately many CDs, LPs and SACDs, not to mention hi res downloads are being excessively compressed dynamic range wise. No worries. At least you can listen to them loud. 😳

Actually, Tool’s recorded works are relatively uncompressed dynamic range wise, see link below for the list of Tool recordings including reissues and their relative dynamic ranges, from the Official Dynamic Range Database. Green is good, red is bad. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Tool&album= |
