I have mentioned elsewhere, but since I convinced my father to cancel Amazon
Prime and we started watching old movies from the DVD library again, we have
been watching good movies instead of utter crap.

Also, music from the 90s and before was more carefully produced in my opinion,
because people bought the albums and actually appreciated them. Nowadays,
everybody has a gigantic music collection or streaming access and they don't
give a damn for the music they can listen to. WHen I was a kid, if somebody
gave me a Manowar tape, I was listening to it for months.

It shows because disco houses are no longer willing to assign big budgets to
studio recording. There was a time in which a metal label would spend 6 figures
recording some epic metal with an orchestra and everything. NOwadays there is
no way they are breaking even from that so you no longer get such level of
production unless the artist in question is already rolling in money and does
not give a damn.
