RadDonut Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Yeah what the heck is up with the mix? If it's intended to be that way then I don't know what they were thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I assume it's intentional for aesthetic reasons, since they like to push concepts really hard, but it's kind of illogical given this song would otherwise be pretty awesome. This is gonna be a fuckin' weird record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8TRU Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Maybe it's because I'm not the same as I was in 2011 but I feel like the new songs are recycled content and they don't offer anything new for me. I'm not excited or interested in this new record which says a lot because Wildlife was my favorite album for years and I like everything they've put out through Rooms of the House.

cantdance Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I personally thought some of the vocal mixing on the last MwY album to be oddly low as well but this is just absurd. I’m all for this band toning down the focus on the lyrics and vocal delivery in favor of instrumentation but I honestly can hardly make out any of the words.

TheWindBlower Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Wow, that vocal mix is even worse than the first two tracks... What a shame, Jordan sounds great, just too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them a lot up through the release tour for Rooms of the House and you could tell everything went to Jordan's head. The last time I saw them full band it was a terrible performance and his ego was too much. I'm not surprised at all they got lazy on this one. Everything so far sounds like leftover ROTH material. I guess most people don't see that? Edited February 12, 2019 by N8TRU1 holyvacantsholyhell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 ^imo these teaser tracks have had a more digital/modern twist to them where ROTH was more of a straight forward drums/guitar/bass album. Seems like they're trying to chase an older Portugal. The Man style high, both audibly and aesthetically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess most people don't see that? Fools will defend 'em but you're right. They lost their teeth. The last time I saw them was opening for Thrice on their To Be Everywhere tour and it was so fucking lifeless and disappointing. Even the one (maybe two?) old sons they played were completely sapped of energy. King Park was a shell of what it was when I used to see them on the heels of Wildlife being released... and that's not even mentioning the tiny, 75-cap venues they were playing in the Vancouver and River days... Those were some of the best fucking shows ever. When you play King Park live and it has no soul, something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. I like the new songs more than anything on Rooms, but short of the Woman tracks, that's not saying much. But hey, at least this song has basically the same drum patterns as woman, right?...Right?

TheWindBlower Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This song sounds like a more nuanced/developed version of "Woman (reading)" and "Woman (in mirror)" tracks from the last LP, less catchy though. I like these new tracks just fine, still looking forward to the album. But man, the vocal mixing is such a bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Really digging the horns in "Rhodonite and Grief". I haven't been disappointed by any of these, and I think it's exactly the tone and sound that the band is going for so..... Also, those music videos are straight up amazing. Incredible artwork, and does a great job of enhancing the storytelling. Stoked for this new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 really enjoying the new singles but it's hard to judge the impact of these songs without hearing them within the full context of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
