Too right
Seriously though I'm listening on PMCs with Bryston amp in a treated room, and it does sound like a sack of sh*t with a few spanners rattling around in there...but I genuinely don't think that the average listener would even notice it was much louder or less dynamic than anything else on their mp3 player.
Thethrillfactor raises an interesting point above - there's unlikely to be the level of public backlash that we might all hope for, they're more likely to be nominated for a Grammy. So would that mean that the Powers That Be have no sense of dynamics and couldn't tell a cowbell from a cow's arse, or would it mean they can see past the super loud sound to the decent songs behind?
I'd like to think as I said before that the levels on this record won't spoil my enjoyment of the songs, but I wonder whether I'm just dreaming on that one...
