One of the things that I think is so sad is that so many people think newer technology is better. The best recording quality ever achieved was in the seventies. Whenever they 'remaster' those precious recordings they just straight destroy them. Rhino has absolutely butchered the Ramones' catalog. And for new artists it's also sad. I mean, how pathetic is it to think 'I'm gonna get that little edge by being a touch louder so more people will notice me'? I'm especially disappointed to see the Flaming Lips playing that game.
