Yeah, the Loudness War is why (new pressings from) old 1970s and 1980s masters sound better to many people. (Me included.)
To add to the differences, technological limitations of vinyl (inability to handle heavy bass) possibly affected the music that was made and published. Maybe it had to be more melodic, or something.
