Here's the Dynamic Range Database website link. It's surprising just how extensive the whole effort to overly compress music has been.

uh, Bob, your best album, Modern Times, is way over compressed.  It sounds like a radio.  Hel-loooo!
Mystery solved. Abysmal dynamic range for 2013 remaster, both Disc 1 and Disc 2. It doesn't get much worse than 07 07 08, all solidly in the red.
