Reply To: Jonathan Coulton as part of the Humble Music Bundle?!
That OK Go album is all like that. At first, I thought is was something wrong with my headphones, but no. They said in an interview somewhere (I think it’s part of the interview on the “Extra Nice Edition” of the album) that they wanted it to sound like you’re listening to it blaring through the speakers of your car, or something like that. It does sound really good blasting through the speakers of my car, which is where it played constantly for more than a month after I bought the album. I highly recommend it. And if the sound of that album is too grating, then their album “Oh No” is pretty good, too. But I like the songwriting on “Of the Blue Color of the Sky” (the one with “This Too Shall Pass”) quite a bit better.
