Akin to color compression, various recent popular music is clipped into a fairly narrow range of frequencies, and with Auto-Tune filters applied to the voices.
Listening to music with a (larger) dynamic range and with little or no Auto-Tune can make the differences apparent; you start noticing similarities to the flanging effect used with the voices of the Goa'uld in Stargate series.
Like reel-change marks in the old days, once you notice this sort of stuff, you're doomed.
What really will get to you is that quite often during the reel change they'll stop the audio. Rarely does the music or sound remain continuous through the change. Quite often the new reel starts with dead silence. And just like the marks, once you notice this you'll never stop noticing it again.

I still see reel-change marks ('cigarette burns') fairly often these days! I guess most of the cinemas you're going have digital projectors?
