thievesdont Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Thought the production was really fitting. Pretty bass heavy, Sergio gets a lot of space to shine. Said this in another thread but to ME, it sounds like they achieved the "wall of sound" feel they were going for. If you take the 98 demo and throw in the heavy layer type tracks like Freezing Process and It Would Be Cooler If You Did, along with a lot of the weird guitar stuff they've been doing live since the reunion, you'd get this album. ludakrishayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) I feel this album is the best representation of Quicksand in 2017. If they went for a raw sound, it would not fit Walters vocals. I only listened to this on my bike ride today and I thought it was pretty awesome for this and certainly inline with more of the more melodic portions of Maniac than the aggression of Slip Edited September 14, 2017 by youspinmeround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniele Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Quicksand statement about the 3 piece situation: "As some of you have noticed, we played our show this past Tuesday in Phoenix as a 3 piece. When we began working on new music in the Fall of 2016, Tom wasn’t in a good place health wise. We wrote and recorded Interiors with the three of us. Flash forward to the Summer of 2017, the record was done and we were planning it’s release and the corresponding tours. Tom was in a much better place, and the four of us began rehearsing for the forthcoming tour. We were happy to be playing with him again and looked forward to the future. After a week of some amazing shows, the road has proved to be a difficult environment for Tom who’s headed home to work on his health. We wish him all the best, and thank you all for your continued support." -Alan, Sergio, Walter So they wrote and recorded Interiors like 3 piece, now a lot of things are clear about some musical and production choices, Tom was always the hardcore/heavy soul of Quicksand...Hope that the guy will be fine soon, i met him 2 years ago in Berlin and he was stellar....

thievesdont Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 They wrote Slip without Tom. He came into the sessions at the last minute. They had kicked him out previously. Don't get it mixed up, love it or hate it Walter has always been the driving force of Quicksand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Maybe I had really low expectations for this album, especially given the first track they released, but the record is pretty darn decent. I couldn't expect a whole lot more from Quicksand in 2017. Sure, it's note Slip, but that was lightning in a bottle. My only complaint is that the record is a little one-noted, but I think it will grow on me over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniele Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Uhm.....So he didn't like the statement.....At this point i doubt he will play in Quicksand again.......And obviously Walter is the songwriter and the creative mind of the band but i can't immagine Quicksand without him....

I know that Walter is the songwriter and that Slip was written for the most part without Tom. Like Walter often said he likes play with musicians that partecipate to the creative process and my thinking is that maybe Tom can add a little more heaviness to this songs. Just an idea anyway. Like i said maybe my expectations were too hight. One thing is shure: i really don't like the production and the mixing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Downloaded the leak a while ago. Feels like a Quicksand LP that would have came out in 1997. I dig it. Cosmonauts is an awesome (and spacy) song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Totally love this record, feels like a worthy follow up to Manic Compression , but it has a modern feeling, so I don't have the feeling this could have been made in 1997 but rather in 2017. Only downside, the second song has a bliep sound, that is the same as my radar detector, so every time that songs comes on, I feel that a police officer is around the corner with a radar gun. Still waiting for the Quicksand/Rival Schools/Worlds Fastest Cars version of Hostage Calm to be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 First time through, this record is great. There's just an overall awesome vibe to it. I love the spacey stuff too, like Cosmonaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniele Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) This album is a big grower, now i must admit that i love it, but i still think that when there are 2 guitars one is too much low in the mix and onestly i still miss the Tom Capone interplay, Walter had great ideas like usual but Tom guitar playing is more technical and complex....Anyway i just received shipping notification for clear and signed orange...
