Title: Loudness War Mastering
Review: Please note this is a review of the sound quality only, not the music. If sound quality is unimportant to you, no need to read any further.Unfortunately this disk suffers from clipping and compression as a result of a desire to make it louder then the average jazz disk. they do this so they get your attention when the disk comes on if it is in rotation or if you have it in a playlist. Of course they don't think people know how to work the volume knob or will be able to figure out replaygain or it's equivalent. So they make this cynical move, knowing the sound quality will be degraded. I guess in the music production world quality is not job 1, volume is.anyway, for more info look up 'loudness war' at wikipedia or google 'pleasurize music' or 'turnmeup'.
Is the review positive or negative?
