Am I the only one who feels the whole Neptunes sound didn't age well at all?
I was one of the biggest Neptunes fans back in the late 90's to the early 2000's. I was blown away the first time I heard "Superthug," and became a huge fan of the over processed kicks, high pitched snares, spacey toms, clavs, etc etc.
Fast forward to 2013 and I rarely, if ever, play any Neptunes produced records. With the exception of a few tracks, the majority of their catalog has no replay value for me whatsoever. Some songs I can't bare to listen to entirely without getting a headache.
On the contrary, a lot of other music from that time still remain timeless. Take for example, Kanye's old stuff, like College Dropout, that album reinvents itself to me everytime I hear it.
