One of my favorite albums of the 2000’s is Back to Black. When I finally got good equipment, I bought it on vinyl. I cannot tell you my disappointment when I discovered how terrible the mastering was. They tried to do a stylized recreation of the sound of 60’s recordings without understanding what made them sound the way they did, and the whole thing was distorted and interfered with the music rather than enhancing it. It was like a bad color correction on a movie. When it’s great, it’s seamless and disappears. When it’s terrible, it’s all you think about.
