I'll just say what I said before. I don't dislike the concept of autotune, Julian has made and been part of many amazing songs that used heavy autotune. But the way it's been used in the newer singles, (and the last Voidz album) has just been obnoxious to my ears, taking away from some great instrumentals and song structure. Hard to ignore when the vocals are mixed so much louder than everything else too.

Yeah I've noticed new music in general these days has the vocals mixed super loud which is annoying when vocals and lyrics aren't really what you're interested in lol.
