The Owl Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I am still loving the new album 2 months out...however now that the glee and blinders of the "OMG new album" phase has passed I on each listen become more and more dissapointed in how bad the album sounds from a production standpoint....despite how much I enjoy the songs themselves... It's not Vapor Trails bad, but still pretty apparent that the mix outright sucks. Most abundantly on "The Anarchist" it is hard to isolate any one sound. I really dont understand this either? S&A had its issues, but sound quality was not one. How CA got out of the gates sounding so muddy is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdogged Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 QUOTE (rushfanNlv @ Aug 18 2012, 11:51 AM) The album kicks major ass. Can you think of any other band that has been around this long and can release an album that rocks like this one? Amazing. ZZ Top, and they have been around longer.

Mr. Not Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Come to think of it, the few songs on this album I enjoy aren't worth listening to anymore. They don't fare well up against the CoS - GUP albums at all. If I try to put on this album, I realize there's something better I can be listening to and just switch to that... I call it the Pink Floyd effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrya Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have been listening to it non stop in my truck since I got the album, listening for that new sound that I hadn't heard before. I have enjoyed all the songs, and continue to find a new nuance, or a chord or key that wasn't there before. This album has also made it a priority now to complete the upgrade to my sound system. I find that most of the songs are top of the list. And for me, there is a top of the list where most songs are placed. And then theres the slightly under the top of the list, were a few songs go. I have found the staples - BU2B, Caravan, Headlong Flight, and the Garden, worth listening to over and over. I also find Wish Them Well fun, especially the first time I heard it, could have sworn he said 'Even though your going to hell", see, listening muliple times helps! Seven Cities is not one of my fav's, but its still well put together. the rest are probably not the best from the album, but each one has a great sound, different production, and just makes the rest of the album a joy to listen to. So yea, I keep playing over and over, especially so I can get ready for the concert so I can lose my voice singing the right words, and watching my arms fall off air drumming somewhat close to what Lord Neil is doing.

CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 My iPod is on shuffle and Wish Them Well came on right after something else that sounds great and I couldn't bear to listen. It sounds SO bad it is harder to listen to than VT by a long shot. It is so disappointing because I still want it to be better than it actually is. Not just the production.

You guys are out of your minds..it sounds fine im guessing you dont like Geddy's bass playing much? It sounds perfectly fine to me and still better than Vapor Trails which I do admit has issues. So glad im not a production stickler and can just enjoy the music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Go ahead and listen to something that sounds good then listen and get back to me. I would suggest anything recorded before the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest anything recorded before the 90s. Yeah, there are some problems in the mix throughout CA, especially on the title track. Mastering-wise, it's not horribly loud but it does seem to be super compressed. The vinyl is better but sadly still not great. Luckily, the songs more than make up for it. But I do hope we get a Steven Wilson remix at some point. His King Crimson remixes are pretty sweet.
