Circa Survive - The Amulet (September 22, 2017) Album • Page 139

The song the amulet is mind blowing ! I really feel like it’s their best work , but it did take a while for whole album to grow on me

 

I feel like The Amulet is so smooth as a whole. It's just easy to listen through and enjoyable. I like Descensus, but it is absolutely exhausting to listen to.

 

I never could get in to decensus. Violent waves still my fave

 

Loathe violent waves, love descensus. lol, violent waves came out at a time where I was drifting away from Circa as a whole and it seems so uninspired and slow.

Last two albums have been great but I feel like that is Circa's certified stinker.

 

My dude. V dubs flows

 

I think I’ll find a way is one of their best tracks and the guitar is killer in it

 

Violent Waves has some good highs, but it gets downright boring at points, more so than any other Circa record.

 

Just got my BSN remaster - trying to figure out if I just want to listen or do a track by track comparison

Listening to Spirit of the Stairwell and the non lead guitar parts definitely sound turned up. Which I LOVE

 

One listen with my HD1 Sennheisers and I can confidently say this is so much better.

Backing vocals are "echoed" properly
AG's mix is way less tinny
Backing guitar is distinguishable and I heard a part in Through the Desert i'd never been able to actually make out...
Drums have more bass
Volume picks up correctly during the bridges
Frozen creek still isn't as good as the Live version...

Love this remaster so far

 

Is there a digital download of the remaster

 

Yes.

 

That's very true. I was going to listen to Descensus the other day, but then decided to put on Turnover instead. Less demanding haha

 

Heads up he remastered blue sky noise is on streaming

 

Don’t see it on Spotify

 

It’s on Apple Music then lol

So, explain the concept of remaster ? Why don’t they just remaster it from the beginning?

 

Maybe they were short on time or money or some other reason when they first recorded the album. Isn't BSN their major label debut? Maybe the label wanted something different who knows.

 

Imagine if Appendage gets a remaster oh man please

 

So this is my guess but @sophos34 would know best. The original remaster was way too loud and compressed by the label wanted a master that would sound great on radio. It was a major label record and they were going to try to push it to the masses.

Years later this band now has control over it and probably had to remaster for the vinyl anyway. They probably realized the vinyl master sounded great and that it would be good for their fans to experience the album that way since not all fans are going to have a record player. This gives everyone an opportunity to hear it this way.

 

Seems legit

 

Hmmmm that’s weird. All I see is the deluxe version from 2017 that’s below the Amulet

 

I had to type it in to find it. Wasn’t under their album catalog

 

Ah

 

Just grabbed this, free shipping right now.
