No, because ARRRGHH !!!
I can not describe it otherwise.
What brings you a good album, if the mix is so bad?
With a bad album I'd be able to live, but this is a good album, which is suffering from a bad production.
In mastering here is a serious accident happens.
How can I describe it best?
Imagine that all the nuances, all the instruments are one track on a highway. The sound of the motorway. A highway is nice and wide. It extends from right to left and on each track anyone can do what he wants and it is easy to identify each and every drive but somehow zusammem in harmony. Every now and then a driving time to track down the neighbor and vice versa.
The whole gives a nice balanced and discordant image where you can make every facet.
But then the car decided to all go to the middle lane and suddenly had the car in front insert ne screeching halt and all crashing back in.
This is the mastering on that album.
Absolute 0 Dynamic. It sounds like a straightforward mono mix.
I've heard the vinyl version with a buddy on a really good investment. We are just connoisseurs.
It sounded as if a pillow in front of each box. So dull and absolutely no game left and right. Everything somehow came from one direction. Nothing stood out when it had to.
The drum was not powerful when it had to be that. Hansi's vocals do not have the skins from the high and midrange pressed when they had it. The guitar remained in the background, although a solo really need to stand out.
The album "is not working".
While in "At the Edge of Time" already could almost make out where the orchestra were the individual instruments (what a science and even a profession is in fact), here comes to feel as if had all the instruments in a narrow Corridor come together.
Since nothing comes from the right, not left.
The album just does not sound space.
Spatially is the right word.
It lacks the album to spatiality. One wants to be surrounded by music. This album sounds like as would only thing from the beginning.
Man is about so much more capable than what is able to make an iPhone DAC ever on its feet.
It annoys me. It just is not fun to enjoy this book and doing the songs listen to as they would truly seek my joy, but it can not because you a straitjacket was created from producer.
Such a thing is even harsher disappointment when only a bad album.
Seeing how good music is so mutilated and then even to know that it's better, because it has already done in the past so that is why I am so disappointed.
It's like having a good PC game, which you can not play, because the publisher has come up with some abstruse copy.
Och man :(
Well ... Anyway, I'm looking forward to the tour!
Until then.
