Omar on what he likes least about this album



In a heartbeat I could tell you, one of my only regrets out of anything I’ve ever done is the way that record was mixed. That record was ruined by the mix. Up until I moved to Europe in 2005, I had the rough mixes that we made on the console [for reference]. Those CDs that I kept were so much more potent and raw. People think that was a raw and energetic record, but what they’re hearing is nothing compared to what it truly was before it was glossed over and sent through the mixing mill that was Andy Wallace—who is a wonderful person and a very talented mixing engineer and has done great albums—I’m not trying to offend him… And I understand he had the pressure of the label and all the people who had dreams of it being this grandiose thing, and being played on the radio, which it was, [but] that record was ruined by the mix. I just find it the most passive, plastic… It’s the one record [I played on that] I still to this day cannot listen to. The mix ruined it for me.



Gah I wish I could hear those rough mixes. I fucking love this, and if it was even more 'raw,' then god damn.

And this was hidden inside the ventilation shaft, Day No. 33, Captain's Log 4458, and it seems the captain and its crew are on its last legs. All this culture clash is getting to me now. Am I the last one up above in this space? Tell my wife and kids I love them very much, I know. Ground Control to Major Tom.

That's pretty interesting. A lot of people have this same complaint about this record... there are a few songs that it really works well with, and then there are some that are ideal post-hardcore songs which sound plastic.

By the time 1:55 of Cosmonaut nears fruition, I proceed to meld with my spiritual counterpart, begin flailing my body around in a manner only Thom Yorke could understand and lose all sense of hate...It's a nice experience.
