This is happening a lot to major brands. You can earn more money from a flop than a success.

Sad but true.

Make Wall Street illegal again and again and again.

Interesting. So much of music is the sound engineering. The most recent Pearl Jam album got done dirty. There are garage bands that can do better treatment of their recordings than they got. But somehow an established and wealthy band can't afford a good sound engineer?

The album sounds like something you'd end up with after going to a college CD swap.

Also applies.

Brands not bands.

They got Andrew watt to produce pearl jans new album ... pop douche who worked with Bieber, post Malone etc. why? Trying for that pop star sound, trying to make max cash? Not how pj used to be. Their drummer quit cuz he was fed up with trash pop rock songs. With pop they over saturate for loudness.

I don't think it sounded very pop. It sounded super compressed and clipping. Maybe it's what a pop guy thinks rock should sound like.

I could see that the song writing was more popy. Just loud and obnoxious and going on forever with no transitions. If Vetter let this Andrew Watt guy write or alter his songs then he's an idiot.

That's what I mean the production is pop. Pearl Jam is rock I guess, but they've always been pop Rock. Like following classic pop song format, verse, chorus, bridge etc. I'm not against that if it's a good song. Like they're not heavy metal or drone sludge etc. that's fine, but still let's get a better recording, less compression and clipping, that's what I mean.
