Just gone into it now, initial thoughts:

- Drums sound horrible
- Getting a heavy Cattle Decap vibe from the spastic verses on the opener
- Vocals in general remind me of Travis
- Not just mindless junz, keen ear for melody going on

Positive start mostly lads.

Glad you're digging this Pleb. Drum tone does leave a lot to be desired, but the songs rule so It's fairly easy to ignore.



Man, I cannot wait for Cattle Decap's new album. First single and preorders are going up September 5th. m/

Okay, I grew to like Barren and Breathless Macrocosm now... That solo is deadly. Might 5 this someday.

The drums literally do not sound in any way bad, the snare sound, cymbal etc. just glides across the ears with ease, honestly one of my favorite drum mixings I've heard in a long time

Also the drum sound I can only assume is an artistic choice, these guys have resources up the ass, so do the drums sound bad, or are you just not used to them yet.

Drums sound perfectly fine to me.

Bumping to a 4.5. This is just awesome between the varied vocals and some of the other instruments they have going on here is fantastic.

Drums do sound weird, I wish keys were lower in the mix and guitars (which are gorgeous) and bass brought upfront.

super weird avg tho, considering how many records with this same quality have been released in the last couple of years, I'm actually happy that indie trolls have left sputnik.

Yeah, drums do sound weird. Especially the kick drum is click-y and flat

4 spins in, I'm sold. Only time will tell if I have to 5 this. But any 4.5 is an album I buy for my collection.

They have that clicky sound Allegaeon and Fallujah have... They don't detract from the experience here though.

One thing, I first listened to some of the songs on youtube, and drums sound worse there than from the 320k or FLAC version.

The production is a bit too squeaky clean but this is good stuff otherwise.

I'm positive that this is the sound they aimed to achieve.
