Them Crooked Vultures: fantastic rock album ruined by over compression

<< < (4/4)

Ptommydski:
I listened to a few songs from this record and it's not the compression or even the mastering which is specifically at fault. It's basically everything. It sounds like literally every decision they made regarding production and recording was a bad one. Same with every QOTSA record since Rated R. Same with most rock records released on a major label. I guess it didn't help that Alan Moulder was involved because his records always end up sounding like they were conceived in a Los Angeles studio with twenty stereo speakers each louder than god and as many freshly cut lines of cocaine on the mixing desk. Namely because they are.

If you don't like the way this record sounds, don't bother with it. There's a lot of options out there. Try listening to some well recorded music instead. Vote with your dollar.
