It seems more present on this one. I get that all the dudes have unique vocals, or try to make it so that they sound unique, but the amount of autotune is almost hyperbolic.

I started listening to these guys a week ago, SAT I & II are excellent.

Tonya and San Marcos should've been flipped in the tracklist

"Tonya and San Marcos should've been flipped in the tracklist"

I thought the same at first, but after more listens I felt Tonya sets the solemn, reflective, and slightly depressing tone perfectly for Fabric to follow-up as the closer. I could take it either way though.

I actually really like going Vivid -> J'ouvert -> Honey and then the rest, kinda feels more climactic that way to me?

I don't know if I'm more atune to it, but the vocals seem intentionally obnoxious on this thing.




In fairness that's kinda been their thing since the start, on Sat 1 I thought it was an intentional statement to do with them having to take on identities that aren't their real selves and reflecting their transformations etc but these days I honestly think they just like how weird vocals sound

100% agreed

This just sounds so messy. Also, cut bearface and joba and some of these cuts would be instantly better.

Yeah I love all the vocal modules they use. It takes their music to so many other places it wouldn't be able to get to otherwise and keeps things fresh.

It’s partially the fact they revamped their sound for a mainstream audience, production-wise.

I disagree that they revamped their sound really at all here, let alone to try to appeal to a more mainstream audience. This has some of the most out-there stuff they've ever done production wise.



I think it has more to do with the fanbase's exponential growth with every album. Just from the shows they've done in my area, they've done bigger and bigger venues each time. Saw them for $20 in January, now I'm struggling to find tickets less than $70 to see them in a couple weeks.

I mean the sound quality sounded like toilet bowl before and now sounds like a million bucks. I’m talking purely sound quality. I’m sure they paid $$$ for this album.

This is my first experience with their music and I thought this was pretty great. Definitely seems like it's meant to be enjoyed in one sitting

I don't know. This is still great but I'm getting kinda tired with the fact that they just can't/won't put together an album that has any kind of coherent flow.



Also bearface is way to one-note to be this prominent (yes ameer was also one-note, but bearface parts are so jarring on the harder tracks)

If you took off all the soft songs on this, scrapped New Orleans and Fabric, and ended it with Weight...lawd this would be amazing.

Actually, I think the softer songs (Tonya, San Marcos, Though Life) worked kinda better than usual and the bangers are not banging as hard as usual. (Matt is kinda ehhh which is weird because he was amazing on the three singles, Ameer is gone, Kevin is not dishing out as many hooks as usual...)



Also New Orleans is great except for Matt's part which is just kinda sitting there.
