Cherry Bomb

by Tyler, the Creator

Cherry Bomb is the biggest example of why mixing matters. You can barely hear the vocals at times, and the instrumentals are so unbalanced you legitimately wonder if it's intended this way. It fully ruins the listening experience, and personally made me stop listening to any Tyler albums to this day.

Fans try to defend this by saying it's better if you listen to it at a low volume the entire time, which... that's not how frequencies in audio and such are supposed to work. It's an interesting case though for remastering rap albums, since unlike rock and such you don't really see remasters in this genre. I can't think of an album more deserving of it though than Cherry Bomb. This really needs it.
