Whilst this is true, it's been blown way out of proportion by silly audiophiles. It's mostly done in pop, and some other music, some of which benefit from a lack of dynamic range, some of which don't.
The problem is the A&Rs and labelheads (in general, not always) that push this sound.
Compression is great and very useful when used correctly, but the way the article kinda presents it is that it's all bad and it ruins everything, which is a shame as it's a very credible and valid complaint. It's just a little misrepresentative I think. But I do agree in some cases the loudness trend has been pushed too far. But then a lot -probably the majority- prefer it louder.

one or two things to remember would be watch your bass levels as they kinda define loudness, and watch your phase otherwise the record will jump.
