I never got to see them live. My sister got a free ticket from a friend and saw them on that Honda Civic tour with Blink and she wasn’t really a fan at all whereas I was way more a fan, but it was her friend not mine so I couldn’t go haha. Edit: and I was too young to go alone and no one would go with me
Guys I know this song rips but I can’t be the only one who thinks that 2022 is the year that Alexis and My Chem both release their first ‘real’ album songs in years and they just so happen to bury two of the best vocalists in the scene in the mix right?
yeah i myself havent been too bothered by the alexis mixes bc i think that aesthetic choice works alright for that band...but i feel all your pain bc i am noooot feeling this prod style for these guys lol
Admittedly I had had quite a few drinks last night when I wrote this. I still stand by it. It's how I felt when Acceptance released their last album and the vocals were so buried in the mix. Don't get me wrong I get the whole 'stylistic' side of it but I just want to hear those vocals soar.
This release reminds of when Gerard released his first solo song and album. People were all about how quiet the vocals were.
3 Cheers and TBP are basically neck and neck for me for first. I like the way Bullets sounds more than I like most of the songwriting on it. the level up between it and the following two is insane to me in terms of songwriting, album craft, and execution of vision/concept. the first half of Danger Days I don’t like much of but it gets immensely better in the back half. CW is fine. this song is amazing. can’t wait for the record.
So I was trying to figure out why the guitar sounded so familiar before Gerard starts singing the beginning of the song. It sounds exactly like the music in the background right after Goose dies in the original Top Gun, totally blew my mind…
I think it sounds a lot like Demolition Lovers, I think the rhythm guitars chord progression is a bit similar just with a broken chord with a descending bass note instead of arpeggios. Or something like that—don’t really have the technical vocab down
I think the vocals sit just right in the mix tbh. The aggression of the instruments gives it that throwback my chem, killjoys was so clean and shiny, Gerard’s vocals sat on top of the entire rest of the mix which resulted in the songs losing that sense of conflict between him and the instruments, something I feel has always greatly complimented their compositions especially on three cheers
Never been an MCR fan but this song is really awesome - no complaints about the production, it works for me
There are significantly more posts complaining about the production complaints than there are posts about the actual production complaints
