Foxy Shazam - Burn (December 11, 2020) Album • Page 2

It’s their drummer- Teddy.

 

Amazing

 

Did they release Dreamscape 2020 as a single and if not, why not? Those are classic Foxy harms

 

Just gave Burn a full listen and while it’s better than Gonzo (an incredibly low bar) - it’s very underwhelming. I can’t quite put my finger on it but these tracks sound like demos? Or at least half baked? It lacks the energy I’ve come to expect from Foxy either way.

I’m sure they’ve self funded the recording of this album but going from the production on their S/T to this is a huge drop. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but there really wasn’t anything that grabbed me.

 

sounds like the poor production is what's buggin you, and i totally get that. makes it harder to enjoy

 

Yeah, I think that’s the root of the issue for me. The songs don’t feel powerful like they have in the past. Still happy that the band is back even if it ain’t for me.

 

I get the issues people have with the self-produced sound but I don't think it takes away from the quality of the songs

 

Yeah I'm kinda feeling this tbh, at the very least they sound energized

 

Dreamscape 2020 is supposed to end like that, right?

 

Dreamscape 202 and Into The Wild both end with a weird volume thing, I don't know why

 

i think they are going for the weird jarring effect haha.

this album has grown on me a lot! give it a few extra listens if you're on the fence. it's really good! i do think it could have been even better if they went for the production style of the self titled album, but i understand that isn't always possible haha.

their wiki mentions that Loren left the band after the video for dreamer was recorded. sad :(

 

This is waaaaayyyy better than Gonzo and exceeds my expectations. The rap song and the other one that Eric doesn't sing are weird and don't fit - the rest of the album is pretty damn good. The catchy hooks are back. Is it as good as Self-Titled? It is not. But I am overall pleased with this.

I also read an article that says they are already working on the next album

Hoping to see a Foxy show at some point in 2021.

 

@abw123 give the rap one another shot! It's shocking at first, no doubt, but I think it actually fits really well in the overall scheme of things

 

To me, it feels like the element that this band had been missing. And I really like how it was incorporated.

 

To me it’s not Foxy with some other dude singing. I’m not scared of a little rap - but it’s pretty jarring

 

Love the horns in this album. Missed that sound so much.

 

I'm still listening to this every day.

 

Late reply but this issue is really significant for me as well. If you had never heard any other Foxy records before this one you'd probably not notice it but dang, at this point in time with the production technology out now, there's no excuse for these recordings to sounds like demos. And that's what they sound like. The mix completely removes the energy from the songs, and it's quieter than it should be too...such a bummer that it distracts from the final product.

Send this album off for a decent remix/remaster. Sorry Foxy. I still love you.

 

Is this Nally on vox? I can’t quite tell

 

Just like Burn, this is super underwhelming.

 

I don't really know what the new song is honestly, feels like some bootleg thing tbh. I haven't seen the band post anything on socials either

 

There's a music video for it, it's a Bob Dylan cover.

 

very strange

 

It's a little voice memo cover, not like a big thing.
