>go out to see live show out of boredom
>be amazed by band's sound and performance
>buy album by them
>sounds nothing like what I heard
What am I supposed to do? Tell them I'll buy their album after I download it first and decide whether I like their studio sound? Offer to record a live album for them? Buy a fucking t-shirt? What if they don't have those?
The loudness was simulating quality

Actually the studio production did more to emphasize loudness over quality more than anything. I'm convinced that the engineer at the live house is a genius.
If they sound bad and have made a bad album that sucks for them. You paid the price of admission and got what you paid for. If they've got nothing else that's not your fault

Lol a gold engineer could go a long way to satisfy customers. Good idea
