I know what you mean, scott. It's pretty affordable now for musicians of modest means to make recordings that sound "good," even if your overall aesthetic is "trashy." I see no reason not to make things sound good if you can do it. Good sound does not have to mean "annoyingly slick," and too many musicians seem to think bad sound= "keeping it real" or something.
It has more impact if turning up the volume can be done purely for the sake of making the music LOUDER, as opposed to just "more audible."
