insane clown pussy posted:https://www.bitchute.com/video/oVhCBDARCyR4/ You know, yes that song is uninspired garbage, but my god the production and mix makes it so much worse than it could have been. Like aside from the trite and meaningless lyrics and completely boring, stock sounding riffs, the vocals are super weak and were performed with a timid and an almost exhausted sounding energy, like the guy stayed up for 2 days straight and could barely stay awake in the studio as he did the performance on top of having zero confidence in his own ability to sing. But despite that, those vocals are mixed like 3 times louder than everything else, which means the rest of the mix gets pushed down so far that it sounds like the song was mixed for karaoke. Also the guitars sound like distortion pedals plugged straight into the board, they're just a flat, fuzzy mess, and they were tracked by somebody who had about as much energy in their playing as the singing. That "vocals are the only thing that matters" production style is every lovely Nashville producer's go-to technique and it's horrible. It totally kills any vibe the music might have and it should be illegal. On the other hand, if the producer would have been able to convince those guys to perform the song like they gave even half a poo poo about that studio time they paid for, and the mix engineer wasn't incompetent and didn't mix the song like relaxed background TV commercial music, yes the song would still be bad, but it might not have been the outright embarrassing mess it is now. I know the entire point is that everything the MIW guy touches, from idea to execution, is lame and sucks by every possible metric, but man. Anyway, thank you for listening to my stupid "production matters" rant in the Stupid Music poo poo II thread. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Dec 28, 2023 |

It's amazing how well he was able to scrub the video and the rest of the Nashville Noises album off the internet. I found two postings of an unfortunate live solo and his newest project first before digging up Have Heart. And yes, our discussion randomly got "heart is pumpinggggg" stuck in my head which is why I wanted to revel in the aggressive mediocrity one more time.

I know Rabea gets pointed at as the good one,but if you're bandmate and friend is being a piece of poo poo this consistently for this long and you've done nothing except nod and go "ah yeah man" then at best you're enabling them to be a piece of poo poo. Idunno, I don't think it's a big ask to not just shrug and go "awhatcanyado" if you want to be a good guy.

If they understand how a basic power chords guy like Cobain is great, they're okay. If they don't, they're wankers.

My favorite thing about music is finding groups of technically proficient and emotive musicians who I genuinely like, but make terrible music together. My go-to example here is Dave Matthews Band. A bunch of great musicians who make music I hate. Which is where a lot of shred tends to end up. I love Steve Vai, but I can only listen for so long before I want to to see, hear, or do something else. Ability does not correlate to good music in any meaningful direction. And that's why it rules. And is stupid.

My wife used to listen to Radio Paradise, and now and again they'd play a song that I felt was amongst the worst music I'd ever heard. Sounded like Sting's solo work, but even more muso. It was always the Dave Matthews Band. Then it would go back to Mark Knopfler and Crowded House.

Mark Knopfler is actually the one that kills me the most. there's a few really good dire straits songs, but the rest is just so blaaaaaaaand (also multiple weirdly homophobic tunes. making movies could very well be one of my favorite records were it not for les boys lurking at the end of side 2) if you asked me to remember a single lick or lyric off of communique or love over gold, i could not

Mark Knopfler made about five good songs (being generous) but got elevated just because of the dearth of music appealing to his demographic. There's a few good tunes, and he's a good guitarist, but most of Dire Straits and his solo stuff sounds like poo poo I hear as inoffensive background music in a hardware store. Walk of Life sounds like it was made for Funniest Home Videos, there I said it.

Mark Knopfler is just the poke-evolved version of Martin Barre.
