Is FADING a sign of FAILURE?

[Snarkridden]

What ever happened to composition structure?

Why do so many recordings today end with a fade?

Don't modern musicians know the structure of a song?

I suppose its hard to tack on a sequence that finishes correctly, so much easier to use the same loop and just fade it in the final?

Pity, it spoils the enjoyment of a good piece to have it faded at some arbitary point by the mixman, and why do they always fade at a point where the next phrase is due?

End of Rant.... Snark...
