basically we can all agree this sounds much better than anything ballou is putting out.

Album Rating: 4.0

Pree much. I dont dislike Ballou's production per se cuz he has mastered a lot of objectively dope records well enough, but Marston is better yeah.

yeh marston is better and certainly is much better suited to this more intricate style.

Album Rating: 4.5

Ballou's perfect for some styles and bands, it's when he works outside of his comfort zone that he has mixed results. I'm honestly not familiar enough with Marston's work, but I love what he did with this album and the Agalloch remasters.

Someone earlier listed a few of his credits and I was surprised. Multiple albums by Panopticon, Krallice, Gorguts (of course), etc.

Ballou is an amazing producer, too bad he's been doing mostly the same thing for the last few years tho

Album Rating: 4.5

Album Rating: 4.5

Album Rating: 4.0

Album Rating: 4.0

Album Rating: 4.0

This should be the Transformers soundtrack tbh, id flock to the cinema then.

I don't like Jane Doe's production, really. Ballou's best work in that regard is Gospel.

The production here is a shame, its a rly good album

Damn, I keep waking up with the riff in Estranged From Orbit stuck in my head.

I can think of worse ways to wake for sure. Like construction workers cutting plywood literally no more than five feet from my bedroom window.
