He's right, but what I really don't like is the production of modern records themselves and not how perfect they are. I find it hard to listen to rock albums made after the '90s due to how sterile the production sounds. They sound brittle, for lack of a better term. That's more of a problem for me than the music sounding like it's played by robots. A lot of people give drum machines shit, but I don't mind them depending on the style of music. In a lot of cases I'd take them over real drums. The triggered typewriter bass drum sound that metal bands started using in the '90s really gets on my nerves though.

On the other hand, a lot of music from before the late '70s or so just sounds limp to me in terms of production. I think the '80s and '90s were really the sweet spot. I like the fidelity of '50s rock and roll recordings, but they really don't pack as much punch as the music deserves.

Do you know what changes in production gave the music such a brittle sound? That's a good way of describing it.

Same. I figured they did that intentionally to make it sound more trippy or something. British production from that period tends to hold up better than American production, in my opinion. Even lot of the best music made by American artists back them seems to have been produced by Brits.

People like to talk about things like the loudness war, but if I had to guess the biggest contributing factor would be the relative lack of analog technology in the signal chain. In-the-box recording has become the norm, with an increasing reliance on digital technology. I don't know anything about the recording process of video related, but not even the vinyl mix sounds appealing to me despite not being compressed to hell. The 1997 remix of Raw Power is famously loud and yet still sounds better to me than anything I can think of from this era.

I always thought it was due to limitations of the time, whether technological or self-imposed ones.

This is all the jews' fault.

The whole music and film industry in the USA was created and propped by jews.
The only thing that's changed is that they were competent kikes, and nowadays they're incompetent kikes.

Okay. It's still the jews' fault, just the incompetent jews.
