My sub is kicking out a lot on each hit so I'm at a loss for where you guys are coming from.

Listening to this through my mixing headphones. Dunno if I would call the drums clipped but they definitely have easily perceptible volume sags on each note. the cymbals also sound gated and definitely have a lot of high end hiss introduced. the snare distorts on rolls.



anyway it really isn't that complicated. the music is average and the drums are very badly mixed

I was thinking about listening to this but don't want to waste my time, it's really difficult to find information about the production, particularly the drums.



Anyone know where I can find this out? Thx.

idk TFP sounds bad because it's too pushed. this sounds bad because the way that they try and get it to not sound like TFP is too inelegant.



It sounds kind of like a deathcore job except even more squashy

I will probably end up jamming this, even though I don't really want to. Noon might be pushing it mind.

@Darius

Have you read Scuro's Slugdge reviews? I disagree.

Why are you guys even arguing about two albums that apparently don't sound much alike?
