It's a common recording technique, popularised in the 80s

Deliberately over-saturating drums for example creates a very nice thud. You've probably heard that thud in countless 80s pop albums!

These days it's possible to digitally simulate the effect of tape saturation, but that thud sound is no longer "fashionable". The so called "New York" style popular in the late 90s and early 00s instead is created by hypercompressing the drums and mixing the result together with the original uncompressed version. Creates a different kind of "thud" - more edge to it.
