The Loudness Wars: Why Music Sounds Worse →
Though it’s a few years old, this NPR article is one of the best mainstream examples that is bringing attention to the Loudness Wars. The PDF Infographic on the left is a great visual that outlines how Peak and RMS levels in popular music have been steadily creeping higher and higher over the years.
