The drums are extremely compressed, and the bass simply don't exist.
If wasn't for that, this would be my favorite Metallica record.

but those same reasons combined with the greek statue face album cover make it a 6.5/10 vaporwave album

there have been plenty of fan remixes of AJFA since they put the master tracks in the guitar hero game. all better than the original

also dumb opinion.
If i had access to the fucking tracks for this album...
The flesh prevails by Fallujah. It would be pretty good if it was properly mixed.
>>63785904
Soft as Snow is a great song but there's something so awkward about it.

it's the vocals. kevin shields is a horrible frontman
Carving Desert Canyons - Scale the Summit

>still amazing though
And for fun, an album where the poor production actually helped emphasize their natural sound:
Digital Tropics - Mutiny on the Bounty

Pretty much every single The Mars Volta album after Frances The Mute

CAN I TOUCH YOU THEEEERE
>>63786675
I disagree
Also this
>>63786289
I have the same feeling with almost every single song from this album
Penny Dreadfuls was ruined by the vocals being buried in the mix. Why write a song with great lyrics only for them to be inaudible?

I think he degraded the quality of this album to get back at the black metal purists who were making fun of him by making it like real black metal in the worst way
It's loud, compressed as hell, and those drums just don't sound good. Still a ton of good songs on this album.
>>63786075
Same. The drums just sound like little clicks and the guitars are very tinny. Of course the bass is mixed out too. I wonder why loads of compression seems to affect drums the hardest.
>>63786289
I think it's the only MBV song from the post-David Conway that i dislike. I would much rather have had they replace that song from any of the EP's they released before Isn't Anything.

I feel like this was intentional, but at the same time I REALLY wish the vocals were more pronounced. There's so much emotion and quality lyricism poured into them that they just deserve more of a spotlight.
>>63786289
Pretty sure they made it as a joke to present to Creation execs. Ended up backfiring when the execs loved it and decided to go ahead with publishing it.
Or maybe I'm thinking of Cupid Come....
This album sounds incredibly flat and over-compressed. The drums suffer especially.
>>63790023
thank you. also centipede hz
This for sure.
>>63790857
Jesus christ that fucking remaster. No wonder it's used as an example of how bad it can get.
One of the worst mixes I've heard from a popular band in a long time. Completely ruins the album for me.
>>63790857
I love it to death though
