you can hear him at the beginning of the 2nd chorus, he's really nothing more than background noise for the most part, which might be the best thing to do for a Chad Kroeger guest spot.

There's nothing scatterbrained about it.

Chad Kroeger can barely be heard... I still don't understand why Dev had throw him in here. But man, I really dig this album. The guitar and drum syncopation is solid. Singularity is a monster.

I mean I know 'why' he had him guest on it, but it's so hard to hear him it's like he's not even on the song. Genuinely not shitting on Chad or Devin, just seemed like an odd move. Nonetheless, I really enjoy this album.

"it's so hard to hear him it's like he's not even on the song"



That's fair—maybe it was an easy way for Dev to give props to someone who helped him out while not overshadowing the song?

Feel like the washed out production over almost every track drains the life out of this record. But I guess I've thought this about most DT records since Epicloud.



That being said album still has some brilliant moments and it picks up in quality after the first 30 seconds of "Sprite".



Singularity is a SOTY contender.

Yeah the production really does nothing for me here, if the sound was like Terria or Synchestra it would vastly improve the experience

I actually really like the production on here, I don't think wall of sound type of production would have suited a real orchestra and choir very well. Would have sounded like a mess like sky blue.

I'm going to disagree hard. This is one of the best produced albums I've ever heard.

It's eh so far. There are some tracks that are really cool, and then there are some really weird moments on others that completely turn me off.



Ex:

"Gotta have a good, good life"
