I was in the Gnarly studio the other day having a conversation with Listener Linda about how the sound of current metal music is not as appealing to me as the sound of the hard rock and heavy metal I listened to in the 80's.

In my opinion, new rock and metal sounds a little too polished - and that's not saying it's bad, I just don't really like the sound of it as much as I like the sound of the older music. The older rock and metal has a more raw and edgy sound to it, and, in the past I've struggled with finding the right words to more accurately describe what I hear and feel.

Until I listened to this. You may or may not like it, you may or may not agree with what is being said, but this video helped me better understand why present day music sounds a little different to me.

In this episode, I discuss the crisis in music in two acts: Act I - Music is too Easy to MakeAct II - Music is too Easy to Consume...and their cumulative neg...

I agree!

"I've never stopped listening to vinyl." I was really disappointed when the CDs came out because I didn't like the way they sounded. So much was lost with CDs, and then with MP3s, they took away much of the depth, all panoramic quality in three-dimensional, or even five-dimensional audio experience. So cool to see the revival of vinyl. Besides sound, there is the touch experience, the art, the notes you can read without using a magnifying glass, and the act of putting on an album. "It's a charming little ritual I never tire of."
- Jimmy Page
