This can also apply to remixes and reissues by the way.Īgreed.

However, upon repeated listening and certainly on better equipment you will hear that the quality is actually worse (sometimes there are distortions) and if you are used to the more elaborate and dynamic productions of the more audiophile times you will be missing the dynamics. If something is 'up-front' and 'loud' on these devices and as MP3 it initially and instantly sounds 'better', so people click and download (or so the producers hope).

The background is that too many people listen to music in compressed formats (MP3 etc) and on devices where recording quality does not matter much. Which a) takes away, well, dynamics from the recording and b) can lead to distortion because it is all in the red (or close to it). The problem with many of the contemporary production is that it is all 'loud' or 'up-front', which means there is no or little volume dynamic in the sound. I don't think nottheusualkind is complaining about the fact that this is loud. These guys can blow the roof of a concert hall - all that loud goodness is quite welcome now and then. I bet there's a soft rock station you could find somewhere.
