like distortion can be used as a creative effect, sure ...

but when it is uniformly applied to the entire album that is just a spit in the face of a person who just spent his entire pay check to upgrade his sound system ...

i like when there is a contrast between sounds that are heavily distorted and sounds that were recorded super clean - same as how you might have contrast between male and female vocals for example ...

but when everything is compressed into the same mud it's like ... why ?

i understand it's purely personal preference but same exact deal with movies.

you spend an entire paycheck on a 8K Sony TV only for the hollywood degen to decide they will deliberately use the lowest quality image capture technology available ...

on the flip side of this Netflix mandates that only approved cameras can be used for their content and their standards are pretty high - the MINIMUM quality for Netflix is about 10 times higher than what "Black Swan" was shot in ... i disagree with Netflix approach as well.

i don't want every movie to have exactly the same look which is what Netflix wants. but i also don't want movies getting so "creative" with the look that you can't see anything at all ( 28 days later ).

likewise each artist should have their own sound, which, never the less, shouldn't sound like AM radio IMO.

i mean having the entire album sound like AM radio would be fine if it was just that one album.

even having the entire discography of one artist sound like AM radio would be fine if it was just that one artist.

but when ALL artists and ALL of their work have exactly the same AM radio sound you have to ask yourself - WTF is going on ? LOL

like Hello it's been over 40 years since Compact Disc was invented ???
