Imagine Dragons - Night Visions.
I don't know if they damaged it with distortion on purpose or if they're deaf. The cleanliness of the rest of it tells me that they're making or chasing a fad. Then again, it may just be Spotify destroying it. I'll have to listen somewhere else to see.
[checking Amazon and Rhapsody]
Yeah... it's the recording. Spotify's quality makes it more apparent but they trashed the kick drum and a few other bits.
Neat fact: they're from the place me and my wife lived when we got married.

It's an album I enjoy from a musical perspective, but I simply can't listen to it, unfortunately. The distortion is just terrible, and I do have the CD. Radioactive, in particular, gives me ear cringes that last many minutes. I wish I had a vinyl rip, so I could enjoy it.
