TheAccountant Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 QUOTE (losingit2k @ Feb 13 2012, 11:28 PM)I went with Peter Collins, Since he's produced IMO two of their better sounding albums containing both Keybaords and Guitar Driven! Hold Your Fire and Counterparts! He knows what he's doing! I believe he would take what's there and make it sound incredible! I agree and voted for Peter C. although I must confess I was very tempted to vote for Rupert Hines. Why Rupert Hines? Think of it this way - his 2 albums (esp Presto) with Rush sound a little thin or watery. I guess that might be a good way to describe how they sound. If you water down the thick, dense smog of noise that inhabits this album what you might get would be the underlying potential of what this album could be. Its like taking two opposites and canceling them out. That being said, I am concerned that it would not work out and would just make the albums sound, for lack of a better word, worse. You might just wind up watery smog. I agree that Peter C would be the better bet to work with and actually improve what is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Doesn't need a producer. Producers spend most of their time working with the band on arrangements and how it's recorded. Too late to change any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are confused what the role of a producer is although there are a few producer's that wear more than one hat and are good engineers as well. The only way they need a producer possibly is if they were to rerecord it and possibly change some of the arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally disagree. Earthshine, Secret Tough, Nocturne, Freeze, Vapor Trail, Ceiling Unlimited, Peaceable Kingdom, One Little Victory. Those are great songs.

They Bow Defeated Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Feb 15 2012, 12:33 AM)Wow, no matter how many times I state because I don't like Neil's anti-belief lyrics, doesn't mean I'm a traditional "Christian" or anything like that like everyone wants to assume I am. Calling me "religious folk" just isn't accurate, but if you need to stick me in a box, I guess I can't stop you. Sorry, no offense. In the other VT thread I saw that you have a book of "spiritual poetry" and are a "very spiritual" person. This plus your many statements about how you consider BU2B to be religion-bashing gives me the impression that you're very religious. But I guess I should have said "spiritual folk" instead of "religious folk." Note that I didn't say "Christian." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionDetector Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 QUOTE (ILSnwdog @ Feb 14 2012, 01:53 PM) Collins. Every album he has produced sounds wicked good. If it wasn't for the fact that the album was already recorded, I would have picked Nick, because I like the influence he has on the band...but if we are just talking about laying down the tracks...Collins has proved he's the man for the job. Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 With the heavy sound that they were going for...it needs to be remixed in the Counterparts-vein. Peter Collins is the clear choice IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
