Can't believe Shinoda is in this hypocritical piece of crap. The artists are basically bashing everything they make money with these days. The examples shown between uncompressed and compressed are simply not true, first of all it's a comparison between uncompressed and a very high compression and the shown waveform is not even affected by this. It's not only uncompressed but also before they brickwall the music. All this stuff gets cut of anyway from making the music so loud.
Also nobody ever mentions any other compression than mp3. mp3 is from the 90's and that the technology stopped there is simply not true either. Just cause mp3's is the most commonly used doesn't mean it's still the best one.
They just act like itunes and all the streaming services are using 128 kbit/s mp3's and since the walkman came out people have been listening to music through shitty earphones anyway lol. Lots of services offer lossless music, no one mentions that either.
mp3 wasnt invented to make music shitty. It was invented to make it smaller because the internet was slow as hell over 10 years ago and you couldnt send a 60 mb uncompressed wave file around the world
