I think he's talking about songs where you can only hear portions of it through the left or right speaker.

I was making a joke with text formatting.

It rarely gets used but I absolutely love when it happens. It feels like it adds an extra dynamic to the song especially if it is done right with the lyrics.

When the lyrics take the spotlight at the expense of the music, like with a lot of Frank Zappa's 80s material.

^Hahaha.

Actually that whole panning thing annoys me too.

Hidden tracks.
Ridiculously long song names.
Badly timed samples - I like samples when used correctly, but when not can totally ruin a song.

These goddamned vocals

Spoiler for Videos that could crash your browser if I hadn't used the spoiler tags:










Common in:
  • Pop "punk" (The All-American Rejects)
  • "Emo"-pop (We the Kings)
  • Disney acts (The Jonas Brothers)
And a confession: I used to like all those songs less than two years ago, save that last one, which I stopped liking at the age of ten or so.

Amen brother, ****ing unbearable.

Along the same lines, I hate this ****. It's a shame too because some of these bands have decent musicians, but then the godawful 12 year old sounding vocalist joins in and everything is ruined.





etc....

tracks that inexplicably fade out before they should

e.g.

cypress hill - funk freakers fades out half way through b-real's verse
summer hits - laetitia fades out just as the guitar solo is starting


Cover versions that add nothing at all to the original / try and sound exactly like the original


nu-metal bands who thought that having a 'DJ' in the group made them all cutting edge and trendy

do you mean this sound? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE2HUh9CAWU

I think the effect is known as 'tree mark' for some reason. I actually like it, lol

agreed. worst example of this I can think of is from a Kanye West verse where he's talking about a girl called Linda and says "Linda loves lace like Linda Lovelace". cringe!

I hate this so much. It's all over the new Spoon album. Did you guys forget how to end songs?! Pushing the levels slowly down to zero is not closure!
