Do you mean your phone’s speaker? Hmm…this makes me think…I wonder if Serban Ghanea is just mastering things for shitty phone speakers and laptop speakers. That would explain some dumb choices.
it doesn't matter, the point is that an "audio setup" is not required to make DM sound better than S/T, which sounds like ass, rendering your hyperbolic "I can't imagine" statement null and void

I don't need to make any apologies to you for spending most of my music-listening time on my phone
Show me where I said you owed me an apology you reactionary spazz
do you want me to call you a name in response or something? stop talking out of your butt and then trying to control the responses you get, and don't call me a fucking "spazz" again

I need to go back and read the commentary on this song's production in light of this new development.

The studded snow tires barreling down the highway will give it just the right amount of added "oomph"

Who the fuck could ever climax with this song on?
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

The fact that the classic line-up of Mr. Bungle re-united onstage last night in Melbourne is infinitely more captivating than this song.

The real problem with how this song sounds is; Mike's not loud enough during the outro.
