and by New Way I mean the way it is done NOW. Albums like Nevermore - Dead Heart In A Dead World, In Flames - Colony, Fear Factory - Obsolete, Nickelback - All The Right Reasons, Keane - Under The Iron Sea, Korn - Follow The Leader, Evanescence - Open Door, The Killers - Hot Fuss, etc are just some of the many examples of how most recordings in modern music are recorded all the time.

Wait, I think I get it:

Old Way = good music
New Way = shitty music

That's what you meant, right?
