Gotthardline Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yeah songs are good for the most part but there is definitely something off with the mix Thought the last album sounded excellent so this is disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 First disappointment of the year. Just hasn't worked for me. I may give it a few more goes but they've done far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saga77 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Reviews so far are amazing, I'm sorry you don't like it here... No problem anyway, to each his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only listened to the promos on YT and the tracks on Spotify, so I'm curious if any forum members with a physical copy are encountering the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Jeez, I gotta be honest. Didn't see the last few posts in this thread and heard this earlier this week and didn't really think anything at all of the sound quality. I remember one song, maybe the fourth, sounded weird on my computer but fine on the car stereo. Overall, all good with me. Just listening to Is It Love as I type and I do kind of get what y'all are saying, but don't let it put you off. It's a cool album. I quite like it. Absolutely love Is It Love.

I Wanna like it but the vocals are so buried. In some tracks I can't understand a word he's on about. can't be bothered when there's so much other quality stuff about. if I'm honest that hard sleazy stuff has kinda had it's day with me....it needs to be awesome to register - Crashdiet last year I found pretty average as well albeit the sound on that was very good.

Gotthardline Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Is it Love is a great song Most of the songs here are very good Still finding the vocals a bit buried as well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMale Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Man, I tried.... I really tried..... but my how this band has fallen since their first couple albums. The mix is a mess. There's some decent hooks and songs in there but it's so disjointed, I got very little from it. Those buried vocals ruin a pretty solid track in "Is It Love".

Thanks God i'm not the only one who thinks there's nothing wrong with the production and all. For me Is It Love is the only song that sounds different (drum machine?) but overall, yeah, that's a good album.

As mush as Geoff is a stickler for sound quality, I can't believe he thinks this sounds ok. Much have too much Cody spunk in his ears!

Much have too much Cody spunk in his ears! Yep, agreed. Nothing ruins an album more for me than shit sound quality and I didn't bat an eyelid at this one, so I guess that says it all for me. Perhaps you should get an injection of Cody's spunk too, as it obviously works wonders! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CureTheSane Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm taking a first listen to this now. TBH I didn't really notice the vocals being buried until I remembered the comments here and started listening for it. Overally I guess it's there. A tweak of the equalizer helps, but familiarality will also help I'd think. Certainly not as annoying to me as it is to otehrs here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CureTheSane Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Had a few spins now. No issues with sound quality. Stand outs are Is It Love My Vicious Way One For The Road A few others may be late bloomers, but I'm always happy to pick up a few songs from an album. If I was rating it, overall it would be pretty average I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
