'sigh'
Rember back in the day when music had dynamics...
No movement through dynamics means no emotional response.
I heard a few years ago that after about 1 - 2 min with a constant annoying tone like a lawn mower, pink noise or this band, your brain will ignore it and you no longer hear it as a dominant sound.
In all seriousness this is what happened to me from just one listen. My brain could litterally not process this as music and cancelled it out lol.
The biggest problem we old ones face is that the majority of the forum members here were born after the loudness war began therefore to them a lack of dynamics is considered normal and tolerable. The same could be said for clipping too.
I am listening to less and less metal now. Not because I dont like the riffs etc but it has become uninspired and unmusical to my ears.
Kind of like what happened to hip hop.
The irony is that the shift from analogue to digital recording was supposed to be (among other things) to gain more headroom for INCREASED DYNAMIC RANGE with a lower noise floor! But now it seems all it has done is given us the means to destroy any headroom there may be left in the track.
Maybe we should send a robot back in time to stop that mastering engineer from clipping those damn converters and starting this loudness war in the first place.
