The capability of the technology for the money is truly impressive and broadly speaking that 'democratising' impact is a good thing imo. However artistic merit is not a function of technology and we already see a downside in the volume of generic pap making it harder to find content of real merit.
Quibbles about the swearing and subject matter aside, the lack of real musicians displaying their chops is what has sunk this album.
Technology has not just helped the diy side of production and home recording etc. It has also helped in the self-teaching (learning?) with so many tutorials and things readily available. Resulting in so many new bands now being technically excellent at their instruments, despite being at an early stage, unproven ir inexperienced. Which previously was reserved for the masters of their instrument, people that dedicsted themselves to it, picked things up on tour from others, came up with their own styles etc, and really stood out. Now anyone in their teens in their bedroom seems to go straight into complex pieces and by the time they are forming bands, they seem damn capable at their own instruments, which makes the overall outcome maybe that bit more sterile. Also think the recent wave of newer bands seem more obsessed with defining their 'sound' from the outset, rather than just saying what they feel they want to say and letting the sound come from that.
