Ah. Imo it's pointless to listen to this album if it isn't the original. The guitar tone is simply legendary.

Both are a five to me imo but the original is def better



@Asleep the guitars are more relevant, drumming and bass are quieter, less vocal effects on cleans/spoken word parts



That's the basic rundown of differences

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah definitely preferring the original tbh; I miss some of the punch of the drumming (having their complexity at the forefront was nice at times), but that guitar tone is sublime

The main dynamic as Kusangii said is the lead guitar + keys, but their drummer is superb in his own right. Part of the reason I love the remaster is that you can really hear how fucking amazing and technical his style is.

Did you know that they initially wanted to re-record the whole album instead of remaster it? Their dumb label ruined it by time pressure so they couldn't do it.



Oh right, the description is at page 2... lol

If I was the label for these guys I'd just let them run the playground by themselves



Imagine if they got the amount of time to make an album like a band such as Tool. That album would be put in the Louvre.

That would surely be something

Kusangii, back in 2014 Persefone made a sputnik account just to reply you about the quality of the remaster? baller

Haha I know, I was kinda shocked about that. They are really passionate about their fans, which is something you really have to appreciate. Can't wait to see them for the first time on the upcoming EU tour.

dude actually put a lot of effort in that comment and you guys simply ignored it lmao

Damn dude you should be a comedian or something

Hi Kusangii,
I'm very sorry you didn't like the new approach on this re-visited release. Please note nothing has been re-recorded, nor overdubbed... only the original audio files were used to this new release of such a musical masterpiece. The approach on the re-mix was to shine on the fantastic drum parts that in the original mix were hidden behind all the density of the arrangements. Yes, you're maybe partially right regarding the drum sound, considering the original drums were fake too (midi drums), as the new ones... but was not possible to segregate the original drum parts bleeding printed on several of the original audio tracks (sourcing from midi drum sounds), and this limit us to a proper use of this audio tracks to make real enhancements. Agreed on the lack of a major improvement on getting this more "organic". The initial "dream" of the band was to re-record (for real) all the drum parts and some of the guitar riffs, but schedule forced us to do not be able to re-record anything. From the decision to the release requested by the label, to the delivering of the re-mix / re-master, we only had 2 weeks. We were in a hurry!. Back to re-mix: we intentionally put also the guitars more on the back of the mix, and not in your face as in the original mix. We also intentionally soften them to be less agressive on the whole arrangement and let shine on all the nuances of the integrity of the musical arrangements as a whole. Please note that the main request from the creators of the album, was to enhance a better cohesion within all the musical elements of each of the songs. And another band's request was to give such a tridimensionality that in the original mix they considered was missed. All that being said, please Kusangii, make an objective comparison between both version and let me know your real thoughts. I feel bad for your disappointment. Looking forward to hear from you.
