The Republic of Wolves - shrine (March 27, 2018) Album • Page 52

did somebody say Ace

 

definitely got some mids and highs. some lows too. the frequencies here are definitely frequencies.

 

probably my favorite on the album. That or Sundials.

 

the prog pop side of this reminds me of mew at times especially parts with bells like the dialogues bridge

 

1000% - it made me go back and listen to the newest Mew

 

The reason I ask about the mix is that there is something about the cymbals that is bothering me. Like the drum mix is so crisp and clean except for the cymbals, which are coming across as harsh and "sizzle-y" to me, almost like they're gated. The choruses of Colored Out, Dialogues, and even Bask are the worst offenders, whereas on tracks like Northern Orthodox the crashes and cymbals sound great to me. I can't tell if it's clipping or if I just don't like the compression on the drums for those songs. The crashes just don't cut through the mix yet sound like they're peaking or something. Anyone else noticing this or are my ears failing me?

 

now this is all I'm going to hear thanks! haha jk, I'll listen for this next time I give it a spin

 

listening now with this in mind, I think its just a rawer cymbal sound they were going for on those songs. There's also a shaker on bask not sure if you are picking that up as well.

 

The shaker on Bask is great, definitely noticed that! However you may be on to something here. I had been listening on a (reasonably old, yet decent) car system when I noticed all this, but now that I'm home and been listening through a pair of nicer headphones I'm not hearing it the same, everything sounds great. Colored Out in particular is spared of all the harshness I was hearing in the car. The crashes definitely seem mixed super raw with tons of attack and much less decay than I'm used to but I think my car system was just bringing that out to a fault.

Alright enough nerding out for the moment, gonna go listen to this album 9 more times

 

I haven't played this album today and that makes me sad. Probably not a bad idea to take a break tho.

 

the day’s not over yet...

 

True but i have a v bad connection where i am and i made the rookie mistake of not downloading it on my phone

 

I'm jealous of anyone that gets to go to the record release show today.

 

Am I the only one?

 

I’m sure there will be other people in attendance @teebs41

 

I tried man, but my weekend shifts start this weekend. 4 hour drive couldn't work with me making it there and coming back.

 

Lol I meant in the thread

 

Totally get that!

 

How much of the new album do you think they’ll play? 5 or 6 songs?

 

I requested the whole thing on a fb Post and they liked it lol but yea maybe 5-6 songs

 

Sorry if I missed this, but are there any openers for tonight’s show?

 

Imagine being a label hearing his old branches in 2009 and passing on this band

 

You wanna go??!! You should go!

 

I may have a free ticket too if anyone is looking to go but doesn’t want to spend the 10 bucks ha
