Sometimes it's bad production work, sometimes it's a bad producer, and sometimes, because technology has made it a lot cheaper to record than it was 10 years ago, bands are recording before they're really ready. On the other hand, technology makes it so easy to turn a bad singer/musician into one that sounds amazing, that I usually don't get blown away by a band/singer until I've seen them play live.
