The more I played with it, the more I felt its gimmicky intensity is like the Auto Tune for images (Auto Tune is an audio-processing technique that can make most any singer sound in tune).

Here's one that's darker and more monochrome than the others. I don't know whether it “works”, but is worth a try...
