I can't speak for Page or his mastering engineer, but I do some
mastering occasionally and unfortunately the artist often equates
"sounding pro" with "sounding loud". I know that quite a few
mastering engineers on recording forums I frequent also complain
about "the loud wars" and often time it's the label that wants things
loud.
