It does have less quality and dynamism. I linked to two video to briefly summarize that. That is a fact. That is due to artificial compression and limiting and loudness level increase in post-production.
And you shouldn't like it because you gain nothing from it. It is factually worse sounding than if they gave you the recording as high quality as when it was recorded to the studio tape. It's the equivalent of getting knock off Chinese bootleg brakes for your car. The quality of it is far below what the properly made version is.
care for the Beatles music readily admitted they were good at what they did, they played well, had good harmony, and so on, even if it wasn't their type of music. I think all the problems I mentioned previously are totally valid. There are a lot of groups that are still good, but it seems like the they're getting outnumbered by this corporate cobbled concoction and not very good groups. For example, Big from Big and Rich can't sing a damn note, but they process his voice through a computer and sell a billion records. He's not good, but the industry forces him artificially to be good. The girl from Lady Antebellum is the same (or I think that's the group the girl I'm thinking of is part of). Again, can't sing well, but they modulate her voice with a computer. What that does too is drain the soul of the voice. If you're not a traditionally pretty voiced person, that can still lead you to have soul and force and feeling in your singing. Tom Waits has that, as does Dylan (even now when his voice is totally ripped to pieces from decades of smoking). So where it is good, it many times feels good artificially, like a high fructose groove. And I frankly think that's the biggest problem in music period. No matter what, it doesn't sound good anymore just from a production standpoint because they artificialize it. They autotune, compress, and do all these other things. And if you autotune as a style, like T-Pain or Cher when she did "Do You Believe", that's fine.
But when you autotune because your singer can't even sing a note, that's not right.
And again, by well tuned, stop misquoting me. Well tuned means you can hear the basic dynamism of sound and quality of sound. And everyone can. It's not about whether you like Techno, Disco, Dubstep, Punk, Metal, Classical, or anything in between. It's about when they compress those, flatten then, cut off the dynamic tips of the mountains and depths of the valleys, and remove the vibrancy of the sound, which you don't need to do because everyone has the ability to turn up the sound on their own and, if they wanted to, compress it on their own. So they can offer you a pure form which sounds great, but they don't.
