Early mp3 rolled off way to early to compress the files.

Well, yeah, the highend rolloff was set by certain encoders to be kinda low. But that has nothing to do with mp3 itself. That's like complaining that Jimi Hendrix is a terrible guitarist because he can't produce a good sound on that guitar you found in your attic that's been sitting there since 1943 when your great-grandfather bought it from the Sears catalog for 99¢.

In addition, it was only the default setting, at least for LAME. You could always change it, at least as far back as I can remember.
