But according to Bob Ludwig, one of the industry's pre-eminent mastering engineers (and a winner of Grammys for Best Engineered Album for artists like Alabama Shakes, Beck and Daft Punk), this hasn't stopped mixing engineers from ladling on the loudness, reducing the dynamic range of the music even as the streaming normalization defeats their purpose.

Computers don't know what any of those descriptors mean, so here's how Spotify quantifies a throwback R&B slow jam: "danceability": 0.589, "energy": 0.912, "key": 9, "loudness": -3.748, "mode": 0, "speechiness": 0.0472, "acousticness": 0.000245, "instrumentalness": 0.00167, "liveness": 0.571, "valence": 0.579, "tempo": 99.995, "type": "audio_features",I took the values, fooled around with sliders, and tried to become my own manual recommendation algorithm.

There was an audible backing track on "...Ready for It," which is hardly unusual, but Swift was hooked up on top of that: the loudness lines up with the distance that Swift holds the mic from her face, her vocals aren't shaky but they're not flawless either, and I can't believe how many times I've had to watch this video already today.

Claims of being too "shrill" — a word that, according to a 2016 linguistic analysis, was used twice as often to refer to women than men in media articles during that era — dogged Hillary Clinton in both of her campaigns for the presidency, despite one analysis showing that her voice was average in pitch and loudness for her age and gender.

The album's glitchy loudness and restless indirection most directly simulate the horrors of the internet — the way social media kills the attention span as countless incompatible stimuli blare at you, but also the way one tangential distraction can lead to another until you don't know where you are or how you got there, stranded in some dark online corner where strangers are selling exotic animals or debating Star Wars fan conspiracy theories.
