lifeson90 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Ok soz if already addressed but peaceable kingdom issue here, has anyone noticed any serious background static in certain heavier parts of the track? For example the first incidence occurs around 43 secs in but repeats a cpl times later. Im only askin as its really bad and doesnt happen on original. heard it on rolling stones stream first but dismissed as possible streaming issue then heard on itunes mp3s. Just hoping isnt on cd when arrives is awful crackling cant possibly be deliberate surely. Anyway if this turns out to be my headphones or anythin silly like that, apologies and let the thread disappear plz :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It's probably your headphones. I heard no static on my headphones listening to the RS steam and physical cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occurs on both RS stream and itunes mp3s i really dont understand it if nobody else hearing. rest of album fine just 3 or 4 incidences when bass gets really heavy in PK.. like i said, first happens on 43 secs lasts for a good 4 or 5 secs. Soz for bein a pain :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Grownup Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 No pain at all :). Are you sure it's not just a cumulative effect of all the distorted instruments together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) No honestly it doesnt happen on original ive checked. Next incidence of the static occurs 2min 35secs... you gotta listen to background it just sounds like blown speakers or something.

lifeson90 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Then again on 4min 35... each time lasts nearly 10 secs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefunk Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I can hear a distorted guitar layer there, but no static or crackling. I listened to the CD on my stereo, MP3 rip on my iPod, and the Rolling Stone Stream on my computer. Are you listening through the same headphones each time?

But ty anyway for taking time to check. I hear it on the RS feed (the only souce I've listened to). I think it may be one of Geddy's bass tracks that was either recorded too hot during those sections, or was intentionally overdriven. My hunch is that you'll hear it no matter what source you listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefunk Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I can hear the bass and I can hear a distorted guitar layer, but nothing that can be described as static. Maybe my ears aren't up to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I can hear the bass and I can hear a distorted guitar layer, but nothing that can be described as static. Maybe my ears aren't up to it! Depending on the frequency, I think distortion could be described as static. We can't hear whatever the OP is hearing the way it sounds in his ears (cuz we ain't got his ears), so you have to be somewhat flexible with your definitions. To my ears it sounds like there's an additional bass track during those sections that is pounding along with the kick drum and that that is the source of what I'm hearing, distortion-wise (the guitar is distorted too, but this is lower in pitch than the guitar), but it could also be the kick drum itself that is the source of the noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think what you're hearing is one of the background vocal tracks which is mixed in what I would call an odd way. There are several different vocal tracks in play during those segments and one of them is treated in a very strange manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kick drum sounds very clear to me, so I'm not sure that's what the OP was meaning. I think what you're hearing is one of the background vocal tracks which is mixed in what I would call an odd way.There are several different vocal tracks in play during those segments and one of them is treated in a very strange manner.Yes, I hear one vocal track that's mixed to sound 'wide'- almost as though it's coming from far left, and it's similar in frequency to a guitar sound that's almost a 'crackle'. Perhaps that's it? I've had the whole family in here asking them if they can hear a sound like static! There's nothing wrong with my neighbour's ears, they just asked me if I have a new record, since I've been playing the same thing over and over. Oops!

LedRush Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I hear the static, but I think it's just distortion from the guitar. And I hear it on the original, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Peaceble Kingdom could have easily been the best song on the album. The composition and groove are unmatched. To bad the quality of the recording was horrendous. Todem described it best by saying its "Demo" quality. Alex and Geddy's decision to use those pounding Interlocked chords in the verses was just terrible. It detrails the entire song in those brief moments. The Remix does it justice by cleaning the surrounding parts but theres just nothing that can be done with the verses. Its clearly a case of: "CRAP IN, CRAP OUT!" At least I can listen to the song now. Which a hugh improvement from the original which I just could enjoy at all. :codger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gritty pounding verses with Geddy's vocal lines on top. The way he sings them and the melody is a nice contrast to the instruments. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's voice sounds great, thanks God. but this part of the song just ruins it for me. Those chords are just indiscernible. Geddy playing chords while Alex is playing chords, just sounds way to cluttered and convoluted for that simple part to me. There's no distinct tone to those chords. They just sound grungy for the sake of grunge. The rest of the song is just brilliant! :finbar: Edited October 2, 2013 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you just like the grungy nature of them. While I'd preferred something more refined. Edited October 2, 2013 by losingit2k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
