Lol people defending or justifying the production, it’s so clearly shit. It’s honestly hard to believe I have files any larger than 3mbs a song. That said. I still really like the record and it doesn’t bother me a ton. It’s just funny that people act like it’s unnoticable.

Never listened to these guys. Don't really care that much about pop punk. Is this good enough of a listen despite that?

This album is like Manchester Orchestras latest with more yelling. I can see people identifying with these lyrics and falling in love with it but I just can't connect personally

This guy ditch the nickname soupy
yet btw?

I like it a lot after first listen, but does anyone else think the production is actually kinda crap? Reminds me of Captain We're Sinking's "The King of No Man" that came out last year. Very messy, muddled, mixed poorly.

Songs are lit tho.

Question. What's the reason for production like this? They're a pretty popular band with a big enough label, and The Greatest Generation sounded sublime. So, how does this happen? Is it because of a rushed timeline, or is it legitimately an artistic choice, or is it something else?

Doubt it's a rushed timeline, NCTH came out 2.5 years ago. I think was just a bad choice, but I don't know who made it. I remember Dustin from Thrice saying The Artist in the Ambulance was mixed awfully and he hated how it sounded...maybe the band secretly hates how this mix came out.

I do really like The Orange Grove. A lot of this feels flat though. Maybe the production issues everyone is talking about.

Yeah, the production is kinda lacking, but it doesn't bother me at all. My album of the year so far, honestly.
