The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
It shows that No Code has an album dynamic range of 7, and LB has a range of 8, but all that means is that LB's quietest and loudest parts are effectively one db larger than No Code's. But look at the actual track comparisons. The first six tracks on LB are nearly identical in volume and dynamic range, while the first half of No Code shows a lot more variety in volume levels:
No Code:
DR9 -0.18 dB -12.42 dB 01 - Sometimes.m4a DR5 -0.17 dB -6.61 dB 02 - Hail, Hail.m4a DR7 -0.05 dB -9.00 dB 03 - Who You Are.m4a DR7 -0.18 dB -8.80 dB 04 - In My Tree.m4a DR7 -0.18 dB -8.81 dB 05 - Smile.m4a DR10 -0.05 dB -12.47 dB 06 - Off He Goes.m4a DR5 -0.17 dB -6.53 dB 07 - Habit.m4a DR6 -0.18 dB -7.64 dB 08 - Red Mosquito.m4a DR7 -0.02 dB -9.21 dB 09 - Lukin.m4a DR9 -0.18 dB -13.75 dB 10 - Present Tense.m4a DR7 -0.01 dB -8.33 dB 11 - Mankind.m4a DR8 -0.12 dB -10.69 dB 12 - I'm Open.m4a DR8 -0.05 dB -10.30 dB 13 - Around the Bend.m4a
LB:
DR7 -0.30 dB -8.31 dB 3:27 1/12-Getaway DR7 -0.23 dB -8.03 dB 2:39 2/12-Mind Your Manners DR7 -0.30 dB -7.96 dB 3:07 3/12-My Father's Son DR7 -0.30 dB -8.42 dB 5:41 4/12-Sirens DR7 -0.30 dB -9.01 dB 4:13 5/12-Lightning Bolt DR7 -0.30 dB -8.35 dB 5:22 6/12-Infallible DR10 -0.30 dB -12.23 dB 3:44 7/12-Pendulum DR7 -0.30 dB -9.04 dB 3:52 8/12-Swallowed Whole DR8 -0.30 dB -9.39 dB 3:47 9/12-Let the Records Play DR8 -0.30 dB -10.90 dB 3:04 10/12-Sleeping by Myself DR7 -0.30 dB -9.17 dB 3:52 11/12-Yellow Moon DR12 -0.30 dB -16.22 dB 4:23 12/12-Future Days
Look no matter how you interpret the data it's still firmly on the more compressed side especially considering how dynamic the compositions are, far more than the LB songs. The fact that a big chunk of LB has roughly the same dynamic range is to be expected considering how monotonous the compositions are.

clearly a new intern out to impress but trying too hard in 10c hq
The 1996 sessions for No Code featured longtime producer Brendan OBrien (his third consecutive collaboration with the band) and drummer Jack Irons, who'd joined the band at the end of the Vitalogy sessions. They explored new approaches to writing and recording, developing songs out of jam sessions and eschewing their stadium-grunge style for self-examining ballads, garage rock and even psychedelic sounds. No Code became the band's third consecutive No. 1 album, with lead single "Who You Are"topping Billboard's Modern Rock chart.

It's Bob Ludwig. They will be brickwalled as shit. (He brickwalls almost everything he touches, then blames the label/artist/whoever for "asking him to" brickwall it.)
Asshole's ruined more than his fair share of releases in the last fifteen years. (His horrific remaster of Nevermind should be considered a war crime.)

I hope when they "recreate" the packaging on Yield, they do a better job than the original. I just pulled mine out to give it a spin, and all the "liner notes" are smashed onto one side of the sleeve. Looks like shit.

I was a bit disappointed to see this as I thought it would mean no box set but surely 10C are a good chance to drop a super deluxe version next for the old wallet double hit trick once vinyl preorders have been filled. I've still got my Yield and No Code LPs but might get the 7"s. Hopefully they give Hail, Hail a vinyl release.

Sometimes --> Hail, Hail and Off He Goes --> Habit both prove this statement wrong, at least to my ears. Never looked at a wav form, though.
