The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 14

It sounds like 10 am with a cup of coffee rock and roll.

 

I think the 59 Sound mix is perfect,l. It's clean and allows room for everything to breathe. Surely people aren't equating the vocal production with the overall sound??

 

New song Little Fires comes out tomorrow according to reddits.

 

Glory to New Zealand this song is gonna absolutely rip live

 

In the end we all burn little firesssss

 

I need to stockholm syndrome myself into liking this production between now and October but this is by far the most interesting and exciting song of the three. Will be an absolute banger live

 

I know it was mentioned a few weeks ago but there was another post on Reddit about the production on Positive Charge being cleaned up. Like 20 different people agreeing that it sounds better. I listened to it and I think it does sound a little better? Idk what to believe lol

 

I didn’t post here when that discussion happened but honestly both songs sounded a little cleaner to me too lol

 

Little Fires sounds the same production wise

 

I'm not hearing any difference, I think it might just be one of those "mind playing tricks on you" situations (not any of you specifically -- I also listened again after hearing those talks pop up and thought Hmm..maybe... for a second)

That would be like an unprecedented level of weird though: the vinyls have already been pressed so that would basically mean the band heard the complaints, decided to go back and remaster the songs, and is now releasing two different versions of their comeback album at the same time. There's no way IMO

 

Yeah if the records have been pressed you’re probably right. Do we know that they have though? It’s not uncommon lately for vinyl to ship months after album release.

 

This song reminds me of sink or swim. It fucking rules.

 

It's also entirely possible that a lower quality version of the song was accidentally uploaded initially, and then replaced. If that did happen at all. I haven't checked to see if I hear a difference.

 

They should keep tinkering with the mix Life of Pablo style. They can't stop until they reach Chorus.fm consensus.

 

This song rules. Has the singer from PUP on it and I feel like you can really tell the influence they’ve taken from that band on this one.

Also, I think it’s the catchiest one yet.

 

My least favorite of the singles

 

I like it but I somehow think this one suffers the most from the production. It sounds so muted.

 

Avoiding this one I think, too much music out and I want to make sure most of this is fresh.

 

Awesome song

 

I am very torn on listening to this lol - only 10 songs and 2 months away

 

Yeah I think I’m at the point where the production doesn’t bug me anymore lol. This song fucking rips.

 

i dont think the songs were changed at all, i think people just read something on reddit and want to believe they hear a change.

this is a good and fun song.

 

cool song

 

The more I think about Positive Charge and History books being remixed, I don't think they could just "hotswap" the tracks on Apple Music/Spotify without it messing with APIs and notification systems, etc. Does that make sense?

I think our ears are playing tricks on us.

 

You can do that. Anti-Flag reuploaded their whole new record without anyone knowing lol
