The best example of a 'loud' album that i've come across is The Woods by Sleater-Kinney. At first i thought i'd downloaded a bad rip because the sound quality was so loud and distorted, but it turns out that the album sounds like that anyways. The album gain is roughly around -13.05 dB which is ridiculously loud for a studio album. The album was produced by a certain Dave Fridmann, who was also responsible for ensuring that The Flaming Lips' At War With The Mystics album was just as loud. |
Well I've learnt something today. It's funny, I've always accepted that cds I've got from recent years are likely to be louder than one from, say, the 80s, but I never put any thought into why that may be.
Admittedly there's not many albums I like, that I can think of, that have suffered from this. But then maybe that's why I like them? :confused::confused: |
i'm actually okay with some loudness, but when something is so overcompressed that there's absolutely no dynamics (the waveform is literally a block) it doesn't sound good. or when i download an mp3 to itunes sometimes people have the "volume adjustment" messed with usually all the way up. volume adjustment is only to make sure that audio can be heard at a respectable level with the rest of your music not to kill ear drums.

This is limited so badly that I decided not to buy the album. Gives me a ****ing headache. |
Ozzy's new CD is ridiculously loud and sounds like crap because of the loudness war.
I absolutely hate the loudness war, which is why I'm trying to stick to original CDs and stay away from remasters because the remasters also compress and brickwall everything. |
