I guess I don’t know the difference between volume and loudness, i’ll read up on that ]]>

This is true; I’m cheating a little bit with the comparison. But my basic argument remains: that Sleigh Bells has made their name through production tricks that all have to do with conveying loudness (which is not to be confused with volume–but I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that).

(Nothing against the producer’s art, incidentally! I have a lot of respect for the Rubins and Lillywhites of the world. But what SB is going strikes me as a fairly cheap gimmick.)

You probably already know this, but everything mastered or remastered after about 2003 sounds like that. ]]>
