The Used - The Canyon (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 36

After Laughter is probably mine too which is crazy because while I love that album it's only like my fourth favourite from them and I wouldn't even consider them one of my favourite bands. I just haven't really been that into much this year.

 

Too many songs I don't like on After Laughter. A ton I love, but still multiple songs I don't have a desire to hear again

 

Yeah, I'm happy I got the physical album in this case because there really is so much going on lyrically. Definitely Bert's finest work in that regard in a while

 

lol there's a $10.31 ticket deal for this tour, they were going for 37 before

 

I'd kill for this tour to come within 2 hours of me and have it cost $10. It has been years since I've seen them.

Edit: I love "For You"

 

Have you given All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell by PVRIS a spin? Eeked out ole Paramore for me.

 

Thanks for reminding me to check this out again. Listened to it once or twice when it was released and forgot about it. What's Wrong is such a jam.

 

oh my god is it ever, I was OBSESSED with that song over the summer.

I think there's only one bad song on that album and even that grew on me since I saw a live video of it. I'm seeing them next week :D

 

Album is pretty dece. But there are so many better albums this year. Amulet is my aoty

 

I just really want a version of this produced by someone else There's a ton of great stuff on this album that's just buried

 

This is exactly why we shit post

 

You mean mixing. and yes.

 

This is not the Every Time I Die thread. smh

 

mixing and production both

 

like you want someone else to have written the songs with them? care to elaborate?

 

But we’re the ones going overboard!!!

 

what do you assume a producer does? I assume he was hands on with the recording process, the sound engineering, pre-production, production, mixing, mastering, there is a TON that producers do

 

I'm a producer.

but yeah, everything *technically* wrong with this CD can mostly be fixed in the mix/master imo

like, compare The Bled's Hotel Coral Essex from the album with the remix Beau Burchell did. Or Ride the Wings of Pestilence by FFTL (sorry lol) on the album vs the video version (Beau, again)

 

OH NO YOU DIDN'T

 

The irony

 

Do you think the fact that it was recorded straight to tape, and not on multiple tracks, also has to do with the closed-closet sound of the album as well?

 

Wondered about this as well. Like is it even possible to clean this album up. Idk much about the process

 

no, they could have used different mic placements, pre-amps or effects before they committed it to tape. a lot of great sounding records were recorded straight to tape.

that said lol the fucking hubris they thought they could pull it off

 

I guess if it really was recorded that way, the only thing you can do is pray that a master can work wonders. but yeah, not really.

 

I love how the album sounds! I like that it sounds kind of dirty and imperfect. But I've been dying for them to go for unpolished sound for a long time now. I was disappointed they went back to Feldman after Ocean of the Sky.
