For sure! The way music is recorded now sounds much better than we were growing up too. Guess that’s why there’s all these remasters these days.
I told myself when I was a teenager that I’d never be one of those people that trashed on others music tastes. I was a big nine inch nails, manson, tool fan and I’m sure most people hated that music at the time.
I've kind of gone both ways on this one. Some albums like Zeppelin I both like a good vinyl version that has the pops and clicks for nostalgia, while also liking a pristine 24-bit high definition flac copy that lets me here every pluck on the guitar perfectly. I don't think there's a "better" one for sure, I think it's people's tastes there.
For sure on the older bands, kids these days are calling NIN and Manson "old people rock" and there are already gen Zers who say "I don't like today's music man, I listen to NIN", like bro, we old now lol
Yeah soon they will be playing the edgy music we listened to in grocery stores. They already play Nirvana.
It get torn at times too about whether I like nostalgic recordings or the remasters. Just last week I was trying to debate which version of Pretty Hate Machine to add to the library… the original that I owned and knew inside and out, or the 2010? remaster which was louder and had some cool audio effects.
Ended up going with the remaster lol. I don’t have anything that can play vinyl and I’m sure if I did my kids or cats would break it. I do love the sound though.
yeah for me personally vinyls go on the wall and I store my high quality ones digitally. A fun project has been adding NFC tags to my vinyls though so you can hold a phone up to a vinyl and it'll start playing
Clever as hell
Green Day is muzak in the local dead mall.
Probably haven’t changed the tape in 30 years. Damn, I just looked at Dookie came out 29 years ago. Wow.
