White Rabbits - Fort Nightly: What is up with this compression?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I've heard many badly compressed albums but so far none have been as bad as this one. I mean seriously, it's like they just cut off all the peaks and shoved it down a tiny wee tube. And it clips badly too.

Strangely, they didn't maximize the volume and it's actually quieter than other albums. Still sounds rubbish though. 

 

Why would they do such a thing to what could be a fantastic album?

that's definitely different.   compressed but not normalized...

Compressed but not maximized.

 

The only reason I can think of was by artistic choice. Guess they didn't want their album to participate in the Loudness War, but still wanted a crappy compressed sound.
