The loudness war

The music being played sucks, but this is a good illustration of what's been going on in the record industry these last 10 years. It's mostly commercial music that suffers this (the kind that needs a lot of radio play to drive sales - they feel they need to make it sound louder in order to get it into people's heads), but the phenomena bleeds into other genres as well.

Rolling Stone magazine wrote an article about it as well.

The loudness war is killing music. Resist!
