woah, this fucking rules. "Fire" made me say "holy shit" out loud with headphones in at work pretty loud so there's that.
I really enjoyed the drums on this album, subtle stuff but it was creative and really worked for the songs.. also the production overall gets an A+ from me
i think that an album like this really needs good production. it suits the songs well and the mix is real good, all the instruments are well heard. layers come out nice, stuff feels up front when it needs to be buried when it should be. now i need to give this at least a week before putting my list out to see where it sits ha.
can't really say a favorite through just one listen, i do like the front half better than the back half though fire is a masterpiece also was at work and had shifting attention haha
Still havent listened and probs wont till tomorrow but curious, how is the vocal production on this? Fire had the vox pretty high in the mix when i first heard it
fuck i love this band and am very pleasntly surprised to discover that this is coming out today, what the fuck i think i'm just going to wait until 11:15 (after saturation 3), don't ask me why, i guess i just want some time to anticipate before listening. v excited based on the response here
