This should be true for main stream pop. Jazz is still dynamic mostly. But I hate jazz.

I think it’s a commentary on sound reproduction as much as on sound recording.
True Sachin in fact I believe , It is lead by the demand by sound reproduction the 70s music was a focus on many homes in terms of equipment and since today the demand is for mp3s on regular earphones which come with the phone , this is the only way music companies can make their music sound good

There was a thread on this on wsj ...got to know it from audioscienceforum ...apparently the apple music wave is what lead to this starting from the 2000 on ...the specific album commented on was metallica or megadeth innthe wsj story ...
In fact some folks was also saying this is the reason turn tables sound better than cd for some ...depending on the recording ofcourse
The original cd recordings are hence at a premium ....

Depending on where it was pressed and from what which master. thats the one reason I am reluctant to give up on CDs. many of the High rez available is remastered and upsampled from these recordings and during that there may have been some compression as well.

Worse than what you think. Look at some of the John Beato yt vids on why. Among other things very few producers or songwriters (therefore everything is about the same), four chord songs (because the stats show that it is safe), gridded drums, autotune, etc. It's a desparito thing, rhcp or the Beatles probably would not get a record deal were they to try for a break today.
Not that I listen to almost anything this century, I am a fossil dinosaur but my music is alive ...

On similar lines, http://dr.loudness-war.info/ is a useful tool. Not an absolute reference as many questioned the measurements/approach etc, but gives a fair idea of the record masterings.
From Stereophile: The “Unofficial” Dynamic Range Database uses a sliding scale from 1 to 20 (1 being the worst, 20 being the best) to rank the dynamic quality of each of the recordings they list. This number represents the difference between the peak decibel level on a recording and the recording’s average loudness. DRD applies the following descriptors to these ranges: 1-7=bad; 8-13=transition; and 14-20=good. Evaluation for each album on the website includes the album’s average dynamic range, the track with the weakest dynamic range, and the track with the greatest. The Unofficial DRD also provides individual dynamic range measurements for each track on the album.
