Not unrecognisable no, but it must be really irritating if you’re so absorbed and immersed in the whole sound design thing and you’re a complete perfectionist. If when people absorb your work in the real world the thing that you’ve laboured long and hard over sounds terrible I can see why that would be annoying.

I guess it would be like producing the world’s greatest beer for someone to make a shandy out of it. Or something. I’m not great at analogies.

this is the first Drive Like Jehu album

That’s the one. I knew Albini was involved anyway.

One of my favourite albums comes with a sticker on the front advising you to listen to it ‘while driving through tunnels in europe’. Quite like that.

I do like that album a lot (and I love to think of ‘noise purists’ frothing at the gills every time I put it on :slight_smile: )

I dont think noise purists really care tbh man

I can think of plenty of counterexamples to this.

For example, Nickelback.

On the assumption that I’m listening to things that I like…

How bout in the song title?

Head on the Door

I’ve read that it’s to get it sounding closer to the original mix before Scott Litt did his stuff

I leave the bass and treble flat. I’ve never bothered with graphic equalisers, too much hard work.

How about in the song title?

Wasnt Destruction of Small Ideas the album 65dos purposefully made a production that wasnt compressed much and had a wider dynamic range thus needing to be played louder then most albums post loudness war?

Really sensible to put it on. Because it will sound quite unless you do

I couldn’t possibly begin to know how to agree with this.
