The Original Version of 'Get Got' Was Recorded with a Toaster

Slight Rant: The Money Store's production is horrendous, and it's even worse considering that I am an admirer of Death Grips.

In comparison to Bottomless Pit, the production ain't so bad, but when you contemplate on how fleshed out The Money Store (and practically every sound in existence) could have been, especially when there's proof out there, you begin to question whether or not the end result was a stylistic choice.

My denouement: our neoteric music industry has continued to perpetuate delusions of grandeur and bad fads. Even artists who tread the fringes are susceptible to this abominable pre/post effects processing. Where's my evidence for this you ask? Equal-Loudness Contours, Head-Related Transfer Functions, and the Loudness War (yes, these are easter eggs).

I would like to believe that we are heading toward a "Loudness War Aftermath", i.e. a post-loudness era, but alas, Death Grips and their contemporaries are an attestation to the fact that sound designers have much to achieve.
