Yeah this sounded awkward. Not looking good so far.

The strings do sound nice when they're by themselves but the mixing with the rest makes it sound rather weird. That's just me though.

Production gave me a headache.

It doesn't sound bad, per se, but it does sound weird. I think the strings need to be a bit louder. I've noticed that over the past couple releases that when they put strings in a song, the strings seem to have seeped deeper into the background and eventually get buried under the rest of the music.

Will check this later.

Production sounds weird. Hope that's not final.

Yeah, production is wierd... Vocals sounded better on RTP, and the strings are a bit too low in the mix

Same thing everyone else said..

Everyone seems to agree with me :D

Have full song - its pretty good - better than anything off Release the Panic I think. I'm looking forward to the reworking of Damage, which in my opinion had some cool moments, but was a little bland overall.

PIRACY!!!!!

and everyone is going to agree with MINE! Muhahahahahaha!

Production sounded like shit on this.

It's fucking Rob Graves and Howard Benson, what'd you expect?

Oh, so it must be Benson then.

I blame both of them.

Just released the preview for Release the Panic. The strings were distracting and oddly placed.

Both Benson and Graves. They both suck.

He did fine in I&I but some of the production of End of Silence and most of it in UWHF was terrible. He's not the worst and neither is Benson (believe me I've heard worse than most of the crap he's put out) but both just aren't good.

You want to know bad production, look up 30 Seconds to Mars' "Love Lust Faith + Dreams" and tell me what you think.

And honestly a few songs like Give It All Away and Wasting Time were pretty much over-produced throughout. A good chunk of that album suffers from that actually.

It's not that I didn't like the production of End of Silence entirely, there were some very good songs like Already Over and Pieces that production fit in very nicely, but it's pretty much the songs after Pieces when the production goes south, except maybe for Already Over Part 2. And honestly, UWHF is pretty much over-produced in it's entirety, even if Hymn for the Missing was fantastic.

Not to mention, those five minute songs in End of Silence were just too long than what they needed to be.

Next track is Damage...kinda surprised honestly...and of course it sucks.

Not really, it's that the focus is entirely on the strings. It's distracting.

Preview for Hold Me Now is up...the only one so far that sounds somewhat decent so far.

That's probably because it's a ballad song, if not the only ballad song that's going to have newly placed strings in them.

Same here, but that's not really a good thing, seeing as how I'm not really impressed so far.

I doubt they're actually going to do that. They said that they're only going to do six and so far they put out three. Same Disease, Perfect Life, and So Far Away are probably my guesses on the other stringed ones.

How do you know?

Well in that case, somewhat interested into what So Far Away would be like. Hopefully the strings will serve as backup and not frontrunner for it, like all of the other tracks sound like.

rob graves wrote 'pieces', benson just ruins bands, he's the bob rock of alternative/christian metal or whatever you want to call it... which is actually worse than bob rock.

This is just an EP?

Yeah it's sounds decent but I need to hear the full track before I can truly voice my opinion for that one. Also, the full verison of Run and Escape was leaked. It's okay, but the production is fucking awful.

Holy shit, recalibrated Glass House sounds amazing.

meh...expecting to give like a 2 or something, maybe even lower.

I've listened to the entire album now and I did not enjoy it. It's like some halfassed attempt at doing both a remix and an acoustic album at the same time and it just doesn't sound right.

THANK YOU! Someone who finally understands. The redux for As You Go is more like a acoustic remix rather honestly. It's okay but it's nothing impressive.

Btw, where did you find the whole album?

Here.

Okay then...

Better: Release the Panic

Worse: Hold Me Now, As You Go

Much Worse: So Far Away, Glass House

No Actual Difference: Damage

The "Here." is a link; click it.

Honestly, for the preview for Release the Panic, it sounded rather stupid.

It's not much better. I honestly never cared for the song to begin with.

I prefer the original over this...hard.

Well, I'm finished with my review of this. It's the longest review that I've ever done so far and it's probably going to get a lot of hate, but I don't care.
