Most of the records you hear on the radio are physically impossible. The timing is tighter than any human drummer is capable of, the intonation is more precise than any human singer. Every performance has been endlessly massaged using advanced DSP tools; a lot of what you hear is entirely synthetic, with no basis in real musical performance. We're so inured to these superhuman recordings that we've come to expect them.
