I have said this a few times and nobody seems to have picked up on it. I have been impressed with the artwork generally. Some people have gone to great lengths to produce a pro picture or graphic to accompany their music. It is sad however to see a great picture or image and then listen to some of the worst recorded stuff I have ever heard. Perhaps they should have spent a bit more time writing, arranging, performing and recording their music than worrying about image. Some songs are almost unlistenable because have been recorded so badly.

Some examples of the things I hate most.
Several seconds of hiss pops and clicks before the intro.
People talking to each other before the song starts (ARE YOU READY. yeah lets go for it. DO YOU THINK IT IS GONNA BE TOO LOUD. no 123.)
No sound from one side. (How did they not notice that one.)
A white noise snowstorm with a faint sound in the background (is that music they are playing)
Distortion Distortion Distortion everything recorded on max volume possible.


Do some of these people actually listen to what they have recorded before posting it?
