Death Magnetic's problems go beyond the terrible hot master. Lots of it was recorded with clipping, so it's fucked whatever you do at mixing or later.
Typical Rick Rubin bullshit. Takes the money and leaves bands to cock it up on their own.
Another terrible mastering job is Iron Maiden's Dance of Death. Which is why the band probably didn't master the next album at all. Though it still suffers because producer Kevin Shirley has cloth ears. All his recent albums - such as those with Joe Bonamassa sound like he's turned the treble off and didn't notice.
