Too Much Pop, Not Enough Rock

Producers, please, STOP MIXING GUITARS LIKE THIS. This was a huge problem in the mid-2000s, it’s a guitar, stop turning it into a whispery space sound effect, stop editing out every minor imperfection to make it sound like R2-D2 having a chat with a power drill.
If the band is actually playing instruments, let them play. Stop running their performances through a program that makes every riff sound like it could fit perfectly on a Backstreet Boys song from 2003. Let the bands use their unique imperfections with their personal style of musicianship separate themselves from the crowd, rather than editing their art to sound like bland, milktoast tonal clones no one could pick out of a crowd.
