This really unsettles me. One of the clearest demonstrations of how mainstream music is just so much "assembly line" product these days.

Follow the link, play the mp3 (no, it's not a Deathboy track). It will all make a nasty, cynical kind of sense once you hear it...

Most of mainstream has always been stunningly manufactured. If you think its bad now, just look back at the 80s ('Jive Bunny') and the 70s (The Osmonds). I don't think there ever was a golden age.
