Anyone else put off by the subtle but annoying distortion sound in the background? It's especially heavy in the middle of the tune.
I believe it's a fuzz guitar track. Dean uses a lot of funky old pedals in the studio.
This doesn't sound like any funky old pedal that I'm aware of. It's quite high in the mix. It cuts.
Maybe I'm just acutely aware of it because of these studio monitors. I'll be happy to hear a track with less audible compression.
There is some awful compression going on too. I'm looking forward to a *hopefully* higher quality version.
Completely agree. It's... yucky for lack of a better term.
It reminds me of that chimey sound during the chorus of Take a Load Off. On the CD it sounds pretty good. But as a lower-quality compressed file or stream, it makes me a bit crazy.
Also, Kretzel's drumming is superb here, did anyone else realize? That guy's a fucking monster!
Absolutely. Mr. Kretz really shines on this track.
Interesting. I actually felt like there was a lot of missed opportunity here. The primary rhythm is cool! But he could have danced around it a little bit. Then again, I'm never terribly happy with an 8th-note snare drum build. This isn't Nickleback.
Now, I'm not expecting full-on Gavin Harrison here. I'm just saying a LITTLE bit more grace would have been welcomed. By me, anyway.
