the new paramore album sounds great. the last one still confuses me why people think it sounds so good.
it might as well be a drum machine. i mean, that's fine if you are going for a mechanical sound. but they are clearly a rock band.
if that sound is what the upcoming generation of mixers is calling "the holy grail" then i'm sorely disappointed.
listen to some of Bob Clearmountain's work.
in fact, here's a list of truly gifted, amazing mixers, that rarely do "subpar" work.
Bob Clearmountain
Tchad Blake
Mike Shipley
Randy Staub
Rich Costey
Chris Lord-Alge
Tom Lord-Alge
JR McNeally
F Reid Shippen
the list goes on and on......
hit some of these guys' all music pages, buy a few songs off albums you think you can stomach/dig. make that your holy grail.
in fact, you might hate buying it, and you might hate the music, but Nickelback's latest album is easily one of the sickest sounding records i've ever heard. EVER!!!!
