Personally I'd rather lose a gig and stand up and tell these so called "800 lbs gorillas" of the industry that it's going to sound like utter crap, rather then to just sit there with my mouth shut and forever be tied to a project that sounds like this.

Integrity...
To paraphrase another saying, 'Integrity doesn't put food on the table."

Especially these days when everyone is fighting for a gig.

Not to mention it's the artists vision, not yours. Sometimes the artists are right (Beatles), sometimes wrong. Either way, it's your job to satisfy their vision....and hardly anyone is in the position to turn away good paying work.
