lo-fi is just fine, no problem there
but the mix just sounds bad in places, it's not an aesthetic preference

like I said it's not about aesthetics, it's about mix quality and this album really lacks in that department
Madvillainy is a beautiful album sonically, and it's as lo-fi as it gets

it strikes me as a silly thing to lie about but I'm not particularly invested in whether you do or not
I'm a little sick of people pulling the usual hyperbole upon release then acting like an album didn't age well when the damn thing wasn't that great to begin with or was only just good
