This can be good for broadcasting as you don’t want you ears blasted off when someone screams in the mic. But takes the life everything if done too much
I think we need to distinguish between works with legitimately lower dynamic range versus compression of dynamic range that is affecting the music quality. It's myopic to simply judge a work by its dynamic range, much like judging a DAC by SINAD.
@GoodEnoughGear - I agree. But I also think that if two versions of a recording are available and one has higher measured DR, I see no reason why I shouldn’t favor it. I often think this why the vinyl version is preferred by a lot of people.
