audioaddict · 8th February 2010

Picked up Katy Perry's "One of the Boys" album on CD and downloaded Taylor Swift's big single "You Belong to me" from itunes.

The one glaring observation is how bright these recordings are, in particular the refrains. I'm fairly tolerant of pop music EQ, but this was a little much IMHO.

I'm going to have to assume this is all an A&R/record company thing....there are some big names involved with the mastering here.
