Limiting is strong compression (ratio of 10:1 or more) that is used to clip wave forms for added volume during mastering. Push it too hard and it makes bad things happen. That could be what happened in the cause of What We Know... and it might reflect why people are finding this album sonically displeasing (flat/dull).
Just a theory.
