On a more serious note, I'd like to ask you people if you experience any listening fatigue? Since modern pop/metal music is usually very low on dynamic range (variance between the quietest and loudest sounds) do you listen to music for long while or do you have to keep pauses? As for me, I can only listen to a couple of heavy songs until it becomes background noise and not as powerful as the first songs.

I came upon this subject when I tried to listen to slipknot to form words to why I don't like that band. Slipknot is the sort of "so fucking edgy fucked up music" with retarded choruses and breakdowns, but it also has very low dynamic range. Catches the attention for start, but then the constant volume just drags it down and makes it boring. And that brings us to the loudness wars...

discuss!
