^this. Loudness War stuff always annoys the shit out of me, especially when it ruins perfectly good music.

2013 mix
So pretty much the overcompressed loudness-war'd versions. Great.

Speaking of rap…
http://consequenceofsound.n… have they not done an article on this yet?!

They just treat the whole music section like it's a nuisance they have to deal with to write about the stuff they REALLY like.

So it's basically We Didn't Start The Fire?

There is a commenter here named Bob Dylan Thomas Dolby Digital… what you said just reminded me of that.

It was annoying in the movie, and they Mumford & Sons'd it up for radio thus making it even WORSE.

Yes! I like Bareilles because she's kind of a classically pop singer songwriter and even in a generic pop song like Brave she manages to craft a pretty decent melody and lyric. The writing of Katy Perry's Roar is just really really really lazy. Too bad because Teenage Dream and Last Friday Night are good pop songs and…

I actually love Sara Bareilles. 
Her new album isn't fantastic, but she did an EP last year (Ben Folds produced) that was really great. 
She's also adorable.

Wag the Dog's first half is one of my favorite films. The second half is really bad though.

What annoys me is that the first two tracks are spectacular and then the rest is just so AVERAGE.

Not even Kansas!

Like a rolling fiddle.
