The Futura (CD)

Customer Review

I tend to agree with previous comments regarding the content. Good introduction with gotsta Get Paid, good impression continues with Chartreuse, simple but effective. Then it is to taste I guess. I appreciate the slow blues and boogie Over You Heartache In Blue. The friendly and fun Big Shiny Nine is not bad too.

The problem is the sound compressed literally to death that makes the sound level of all instruments is pushed to the maximum. This is what gives her flat where nothing breathes. Each battery suddenly crashed and no longer has any power, voices muffled (the last I heard Billy Gibbons is still not under breathing apparatus) or downright distorted, guitars have this typical metal sonrité a deep compression too further, not to mention the bass that seems cast in a concrete screed ...
Result, groove disappeared - strange for a group known precisely for his unstoppable groove, and worse, because of this monotony effect induced by sound always at the maximum level the pieces seem interchangeable ... To compensate for this effect monotony was added a good dose of acute to try to give a little relief to the music. In fact it only makes listening even more painful.

So an album that could have been pretty good but once again irredeemably spoiled by the current fashion of pushing to the maximum compression for maximum effect on the day of the release and listen not after week.
