The Story So Far - Proper Dose (September 21st, 2018) Album • Page 20

Just curious... How are you guys listening to this already? lol

 

Won’t be able to listen until Monday, when I get it at their instore.

 

It leaked last night.

 

Kind of want to wait until release, but I also thought the new Thrice would tide me over. I don't really like that one, so I might download this, haha.

 

Wow- I am REALLY liking this record. Really happy I dropped $$$ on the limited edition book vinyl package now.

 

Yeah- this is definitely their best work to date.

 

Eric Valentine was also involved at least with the mixing but I think he might have produced too. For some reason I thought Sam Pura just did pre-production with the band.

 

Looks like Eric Valentine did the mixing, according to this article. Don't know if he was involved in other aspects though. And this article that says Sam Pura was producer/engineer.

 

After one listen this is pretty easily their best album, yeah. Way more dynamic than anything they've done before, not just from song to song but even within songs (Need to Know is really cool in this regard). Upside Down is still the best song they've made, the title track bangs, Line is gorgeous. Genuinely had no idea they had a record this good inside of them

 

Yeah I’m pretty happy with this. Upside Down is still the best song here but even some of the more “typical” TSSF songs bring new stuff to the table. Still don’t think Parker’s got a real good hook in him but I’m pretty past anticipating it at this point

 

this. this is just so good

 

Parker finally learned how to use a different vocal melody so hooray.

 

This album is so good. Hoping for a bonus track or two.

 

I thought GGgarth was involved in some manner too?

 

Damn Out Of It 2.0 is so smooth.

 

Not sure who that is. I was just going by what I've seen in a few articles. Haven't looked into it too closely.

 

I knew I was forgetting something. Yes they went to Canada during 2017 for the first half of the recording sessions and worked with him.

Canadian producer, worked on Rise Against, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nickelback, Sick Of It All, Atreyu, You Me At Six, and a whole bunch of other rock albums.

 

GGgarth is an awesome producer.

 

Sam Pura interviewed him on his podcast last year while the band was in studio with him working on some of the songs for the record. Not sure how it's going to be all credited but yeah.

 

As of right now Proper Dose and Growing on You are my favorite tracks.

 

Also it might be a little too early but:

Proper Dose >> What You Don't See > S/T >> Under Soil and Dirt

 

Proper Dose/WYDS >>USAD>>>>>S/T

 

THIS SHIT GOES IN

 

this album is fantastic.
