the 320's aren't all legit, though, I've downloaded a couple of them and the drums sounded muddy and distorted

it's pretty easy to figure out what ones actually are 320, they tend to be relatively large files.

I'm trying to find a good one, but apparently the production isn't so bad, so I'd be surprised if the studio quality sounded like that

I've only listened to one song so far. It's pretty good.

Checking the entire album out for sure now. I was planning on going to bed, but with this review, plus some of Sputnik's "metalcore" gurus/nazis applauding this album, looks like I'll be awake for a while to give this a thorough listen through....

because those two tracks are some of the weaker ones on the album, IMO

I listened to that too, and wasn't too impressed, but the whole songs have much more to offer

Album rules, review is pretty great as well. They keep improving with every release, and this is their best yet. Tims vocals on this are awesome.

He's up there with the best from his genre, definitely, his cleans aren't so bad either (Nothing Left and TIWWA)

I can honestly say, as I enter the 3rd song (by my download "Without Conclusion") that so far, Tim's vocals are god like on this album. Can't wait for the rest of the album!



The cleans in Anodyne Sea, though they did seem repetitive, and as I listen to Parallels, the cleans are repetitive as well, they do sound good. I do agree with the idea they do sound a tiny bit OVERPRODUCED.



Uh-oh, I DO NOT enjoy the Linkin Park sounding riff/singing in the middle of Parallels. Thank god Tim came in with screams before it became unbearable. OMG Then that ORGASMIC solo!

Err, just because it's 320kbps doesn't mean it's from the CD. Almost all the ones I've heard have just been transcoded up from 96kbps (stupid thing to do), you can hear it in the drums, and by the fact they're 48kHz (CD's are 44.1kHz)

His screaming improved a lot on this release, its great. I think Austrian Death Machine did him some good, he brought some of the vocal style he used on those albums to As I Lay Dying for this one.
