Anyone have audio from this show?Someone on Reddit said they did, but it turns out they're technically incompetent.
I understand this is 2018 and everyone these days wants the headlines and many would love to see a dirt slinging war in the media, but I don't think 'this crushed the band' and I don't think we will (or need to) hear a response from Dean. It's his business to decide to respond to whatever gets thrown out there.Exactly! Plus, doesn't this NOW read like 2 jerks trying to squeeze money from blowing this story up on the internet?
First off, it's really none of my business what happens in their personal lives. These guys aren't my friends. We're celebrating music we love, that's it. I don't require of my entertainers to have the same moral compass as me. I do agree beating women is where one could draw the line - that shit is unacceptable... but we don't really know what happened. I don't know Jenn Deleo. I'm staying away from that. I will still enjoy the music. As for Dean getting fired, I don't see that happening. He started the band and his brother is in it.Exactly. Plus, before we know, we don't know. Speculating is silly.
For instance, on “The Art of Letting Go,” I finally got a chance to use my 1972 Fender Jazz Bass, which was perfect for that track. Originally I played a much busier bass line that felt good, but Dean said, “Umm, that’s just a little busy.” I was upset at first, but I wouldn’t be able to wear my producer’s hat if I had said, “No it isn’t! It’s fine!” So I went back, rethought it, and simplified it, and now that’s the riff. It really works in the less-is-more way. I’m very happy with how that song came out because of it.Holy shit do I want to hear that original bass part now...
It doesn't bother me enough to ruin the track for me. But yes, it's like a buzzy frequency over-tone on the guitar. It's almost like a maxed out Big Muff running alongside the guitar distortion.Yeah. And I'm not too mad at it. It's just a little puzzling.
Has anybody else noticed that annoying fuzzy sound during the choruses of Roll Me Under? Kind of annoying and puts me off from listening to it. I've only noticed it in my car, not so much through headphones.It's in the whole track to a certain degree. It's an effect on the main heavy guitar track. I'm not quite sure why. I also find it a bit annoying.
First, the bad. I don't know what they were thinking with the production. I'm a guitar player. I know the faintest bit about sound, but for those that know a lot, I basically know nothing. But man it sounds muddied up and under water. Listening back to High Rise, while it doesn't have the individual character that each of the first three records had, at least it sounds crisp and clear with better separation of the frequencies. Even Kretz's cymbals sound a bit lifeless without the crispness of the high end I am used to. Maybe it's something totally different, but it doesn't sound great.I didn't understand these comments until over the weekend. My friend was complaining about it being muddy. So I asked him to give me his earbuds and it sounded like a bucket of ass. I've only listened to this album with studio monitors, studio headphones, and in my car (which is nothing special, at all). It's very good on my monitors, great on my headphones, and perfectly fine in my car (though I'm less concerned about detailed intricacies of music while I'm blasting down a highway). I think it's a density problem. These tunes are packed with layers.
Rolling Stone IS not ARE. Go back to elementary school, Brett. Daddy needs to proof read your posts.The is-versus-are debate is very new-school English. Are is technically correct since Rolling Stone is made up of more than one person, but it makes you sound like a fucking tithead. That's why you don't do it.
I thought Dean really brought it on the entire record. Most inspired he has sounded in years.I agree with this.
Also, no disclosure on who played the xylophone on 'Thought She'd be Mine' or any other 'who played what' listingI believe it's a vibraphone with the motor turned off.
