![]() His ears are just shot, and as a consequence, he can't hear what actually sounds good. We know Myles has tinnitus, so I don't trust him when tocomes to sonics. It feels to me like they're trying to convince themselves he's still the guy, when a lot of people around the Internet (not trolls) keep telling them there's a big issue with sound quality. Myles and Mark are free to make bas decisions, and just because people are fans shouldn't mean they must accept it all.Īlso, I think Mark, Myles and their band pals are blinded and in complete denial, when it comes to Elvis and sound quality. I love AB's music, but overall, the sound quality is not up to the same standards. I can make a distinction between the content of a song and the way it was recorded. I totally disagree with your last sentence: once a record is out, it also belongs to fans of the band, and they're entitled to critique it. If you criticize him and his work, then you criticize them for their decision. ![]() There's no distinction between "the songs themselves" and "the production," it's all part and parcel of the song. If the band likes him and his work, then his work is just as much part of their creative decision as the songs themselves. If he's good enough for the band and they consider him to be basically the fifth member of Alter Bridge, why isn't he good enough for you (not speaking at you, Dan, just the Elvis haters)? You have the right to your opinion, but that's all it is - YOUR opinion. I also find it fascinating, that people who don't like Elvis' work think their opinion is the absolute truth, and he's objectively bad at his job despite how others feel - including the band members themselves. TLH is pitiful when it comes to kick drums. Kick drums were WAY more a focus on WTS than TLH. Remember, circa 2008 was the peak of the loudness wars *cough* Death Magnetic *cough*, so albums that were released at or near 2008 do suffer somewhat at least partially from that universal mistake. Or are you solely referring to brickwalling? Going by this, you feel ODR sonically sounds better than AB III? If so, I completely disagree. Those last two albums are very hard to listen to as far as I'm concerned, and the mixes focus way too much on the kick drums. Slip to the Void immediately told me something was wrong in terms loudness war (the soft intro is louder than the rest of the song).įortress was an improvement, and I can live with that one.Īnd the level of guitar distortion on some of the harder WTS songs was insane. unneded voice effects everywhere, loudness war on White Knuckles), but was still tolerable overall. I reember being shocked by the vocals when first heard Blackbird. And when did they start sounding “really bad”? When they began working with Elvis?
