Musica Forte

One thing that drives me crazy about a lot of music recorded today is the lack of dynamics. Through the song the volume of all instruments are pegged. I feel like the song is shouting at me. If I change the station, wham! Another song shouting at me.

"In music, dynamics normally refers to the volume of a sound or note, but also to every aspect of the execution of a given piece, either stylistic (staccato, legato etc.) or functional (velocity). The term is also applied to the written or printed musical notation used to indicate dynamics." - wikipedia
