New Foo Fighters cd SUX!

[BalthazarFM]

Did I get your attention? Kept hearing this crappy distortion whenever the Foo's new 1 played. Dropped it into a wav form and VOILA! Punishingly, ear splitting, listening ruining over modulation. The needles BARELY left the right side of the meter. WHY must this go on? I asked a big time mastering guy that and he says that's what the lables want. To be the loudest thing on the radio. But wouldn't you rather have people turn UP your song instead of DOWN because it sounds like crap? Then there's the whole 'listener fatigue' thing. Pair the over modulated cd/mp3/whatever with a stations 110% processing (cc?) and people are going to bail out. And they won't even know why. Its just the constant distortion of frequencies banging on their eardrums and the TSL's drop.

Put the latest cd's from anyone into a wav form and look at it. Solid as a 4x6. Then turn down the volume and try to listen. Any better? When will music be allowed to breath again? Cause this stuff just sux.

How many places are you going to post this? Remember what I said: The album was recorded on all analog equipment. It was mastered using analog equipment. Whoever manufactured the CDs probably turned up the volume. My advide: Get the album on vinyl and convert to .wav, it will sound much better.
