Additionally, there is something way the gently caress wrong with the mixing or mastering or Amazon or something. The whole album sounds like 64kbps on $2 earbuds.

This is obnoxious as poo poo, I hope the vinyl release really won't take an extra month.

I'm not sure I can trust the objectivity of a person who would spend money to reg an account named "Bonye West" and by a kanye avatar.

Bonye West posted:

Oh I know right, I mean, I'm actually him in disguise, shucks. My real nickname is Bonye West, as a joke. I also post in the scenecore thread and the indie thread. I guess I could've been Fall Out Bon, or My Chemical Bon, but I really wanted one person to point this out. Bonye West and an avatar from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia didn't have the same style combination, sorry guy. If, however, you'd actually like to debate a point I've made, that would be cool.

A point that you probably have confirmation bias out the rear end and try to establish your cred by rejecting popular bands? I wouldn't know where to start.

Does it count that I said it sounded like poo poo before I looked at the waveforms? I listened to a blog copy of Monster and the Amazon one, and they sound completely different.

Also, I am constantly baffled why people seem to think the most important topic for discussion when any big-name new album comes out is its mixing and mastering. There are other aspects to the music. You can even have opinions on them.

It just happens to be particularly awful on this album. The songs are great, but even a clean vocal part of the song clips to high hell, when the good friday tracks didn't.

No, people hate the rhyming words with themselves and the overall lack of cleverness, too, the sweetin and sour sauce is just the worst offender.

I thought the same thing, but it could just be a very similar synth effect and not a sample.

People just don't see the true sociopolitical depth to ye's Throw Some D's remix and that's a drat shame.

You see, the juxtaposition of Jones' track over Throw Some Ds clearly evokes the inner turmoil of Meyer's "Austin Powers" character on a signified level of gender sociopolitics. The title of the mixtape "Sky High" is a Freudian reinterpretation of the creation myth as not only Oedipal, but permanently entwined with poststructural motifs of creative expression almost entirely free from the authoritarianism of third wave feminism.

it isnt a mastering issue. it is a static poppy sound kind of like vinyl almost that was added to the mix. it's harder to notice if you havent ever heard earlier versions without it.

Just heard he was hospitalised, whilst it doesn't excuse the Bill Cosby comments etc, I know way too many people with mental health issues, they are horrible to deal with and I hope he gets better soon. :/

Having an illness that interferes with your ability to choose what you say certainly could excuse any comments you make.
