SRS by Earl is a masterpiece, despite sounding almost like unfinished demos - same with "The Glow pt.2" by The Microphones and many other GREAT lo-fi albums. Great music will always be great. Alex G recorded most of his album using garage band and a s***ty USB mic - and his music still sounds GODLY. Use what you have and make it work.

"SRS by Earl is am masterpiece"

jai paul demos hit to this day

SRS sounds amazing to me b

It actually is lol

No it doesn't

You're not gonna enjoy a song that genuinely sounds like it was recorded with cheap equipment idc how good the song itself is

to me too, but it doesn't sound like your typical well-recorded album released by COLUMBIA RECORDS

I agree but if you dropping some lo fi/ unfinished sounding s*** u gotta at least have interesting vocals, Jai did that well

Great music is great....OP in 3020

KTT disagrees

obviously the talent will still be there regardless of how it''s recorded, mix or whatever

?

i mean yea... if the source material is good its gonna sound good

dust classics out now

I have loved a lot of songs that sound that way

SRS still trash

I’ll even go one step further
Great music doesn’t age, the perception of it does
That’s why you can listen to something from decades ago and not think it came out in that year (like Bowie)

this thread will help me know who to ignore

I'm not talking about songs that have a "low budget" sound for effect

But s*** that was recorded with a $20 mic for example, your brain won't even allow you to enjoy it

Just not possible

Black metal

Yep. "The Downward Spiral" by NIN or "Starsailor" by Tim Buckley and many others sound just as good like it came out just yesterday

we must go older

Alex G did that tho...
