I am all to familiar with this and I hate it. People praise the sound of vinyl as superior without realizing it has nothing to do with the format. It's because they use better dynamic mixes. Why they can't put those same mixes on CD or streaming is beyond me.

So much great music is just unlistenable to me because it gives me a fucking headache to listen to. My sister told me to listen to Knocked Loose thinking I'd like it. Musically, yes I did. It would be great if it wasn't the most compressed garbage sounding recording I had ever heard. I get it's a hardcore band but I've heard some very dynamic grindcore and powerviolence bands that sound great.

Dear artists, sound engineers, mixers, and whoever else please fucking stop.
