Yeah I don't get y'all, the production is atrocious on this. The vocals sound so buried and the guitars are too overpowering in the mix. That said, at least they fixed the drum production that plagued the last 2 albums.
Weird the vocals are definitely not buried on this. I think it’s the best vocal production since the second EP that had huge songs like Oat Street and But Why Would You Care.
First half of the album isn't hitting me, just sounds like songs they've already done. Hoping something catches me in the back half.
I watched their live show tonight. It wasn’t bad. The mixing could’ve been better, but they played a lot of new songs and they translated well live. I’m really digging the new record and I’m excited for the band.
Im prob the biggest KP fan and i think the songs released before the rest of the album are some of their best, but the other 6 haven't really connected with me. Hopefully that changes with time. either way im stoked for these guys and cant wait to see them at a show again.
I have a track by track on Apple Music going live sometime this week so I'll share that along with my review once live!
so i converted Earthquake from 432 Hz to 440 if you guys wanna hear it in the same pitch as the rest of the album and/or if you wanna play along on guitar like i am. enjoy! Dropbox - 04 Earthquake (440Hz).mp3 - Simplify your life
Darn was hoping they would explain what a sidechain is. Didn't know Nick did so much of the song and lyrics for the band.
