I don't think Dave cares too much about the Bama Rags releases and lets management get on with their thing, and they care about dynamics.
As Mark Batson has said before when asked about the compression, "Dave likes it loud, sorry".
As for those in the industry, a lot of artists think that's how it will sound good and the mastering engineers for the most part can't afford to fight it or waste the energy trying to educate them. We just have to be grateful for artists that are doing it right - the new Porcupine Tree record for example, sounds fantastic!
And of course, we enjoy all those CDs from the late 80s and early 90s before it went to shit around '95 with What's The Story.
