Shelby Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 1 minute ago, Derek™ said: Last I heard, the band is very interested in re-recording Tertia for re-release, specifically to renovate the production. Should be happening next year to coincide with the 10-year anniversary tour. Way overdue. For me it has nothing at all to do with how far back the vocals are, how prominent the guitars may be, or how much the instruments "mesh" together in the mix. I'm hardly a shoegaze connoisseur but I've had the genre in my rotation for at least 10 years now, and am no stranger to muffled vocals / muddy production. But when the guitars come in on Zero Day, it sounds like I jumped back to 1998 and downloaded the file in 96 kbps through Napster and then tried playing it through my Razr flip phone. Are you still running that leak for the mp3s? There was definitely something really off on the low end for that even though it was 320.

shamrocks Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 albums good and it sounds good its clearly their aesthetic i have no problem with it through a pretty decent TT and open ear headphones prolly will spend a bit more time with the mp3s but i dont feel the mastering is dramatically worse than GoE in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should track down a newer FLAC rip and convert that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetsuodaironman Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I am undecided on the SLAPPINESS of the album. It def doesn't GAPE. Not in the slightest. If you are referring to this album feeling SLAPPED together then, yes, 100% it SLAPS. KingTacoMunster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Some polarizing opinions on what I figured would be a universal slapper. Anyone else get a Creep vibe from Us/We/Are? I can't place exactly why. jrodan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US/We/Are also has a completely lifted riff from Bush - Swallowed. part of why i love this album is it scratches my middle school 90s alternative rock itch.

Had this thought listening in my car yesterday. Also kinda heard some Weezer In the Garage in there, but in the same way that one Brand New song kinda sounded like it.

alwaysopenmouth Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I had a mixed reaction to this album after two or three listens on Spotify, but today I got to sit with my copy and read the lyrics and just focus on it. Gotta say that it sounds much better on vinyl to me and I ended up enjoying it much more. TLDR: slapper/10 monsterrod, THE_James_Champ and tetsuodaironman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd appreciate that too, if you can, I'm itching to hear them. Regarding the album's sound - I'm crushing hard on the incredibly warm sense of nostalgia I feel from this album. I'd say the production is very deliberate. THE_James_Champ and jonnywreck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
