wilconut Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Wow. Does anyone hear a difference in the mechanics of the recording? It feels much warmer than AGIB, much "closer," if that makes any sense. I really like You Are My Face. Lovely little number. Either way is fantastic. Walken is a little eh on me still. I'm going to listen to it again and see how it goes.

Sir Stewart Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 These are not demos. The thing is these aren't mastered yet. Early promos usually aren't. Anyone download Beck's Guero when it first leaked? It was flat like this is as well.Guero remained flat upon its release and is still so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boots Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think we should be caught up. I'll try help out if people want to PM me instead of posting in here.... I should be checking VC a good bit between now and 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Guero remained flat upon its release and is still so. Haha, well, it was extra flat. Wow. Does anyone hear a difference in the mechanics of the recording? It feels much warmer than AGIB, much "closer," if that makes any sense.Yeah, AGIB had really good use of reverbs, these recordings feel more "live", less production.

Sir Stewart Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Haha, well, it was extra flat.I remember. When that stuff first leaked, I thought I had it all figured out: that they were actually tracks from Beck's unreleased "rock" album that he had ready to release around the time he went with Midnite Vultures instead. Alas, I was wrong. Not that I think Guero's awful; it's just sub-par to me. Back on topic: You Are My Face is effing spectacular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilconut Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Just checking Wilcoworld for a sec, and I caught myself looking at the probable tracklisting. Does it seem off to anyone? I don't know about starting the record off with Either Way. Beautiful song, but I don't know about a record starter. Thoughts? Am I crazy? EDIT FROM EARLIER POST: I was wrong about Walken. After a few listens, it rocks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steammesusan Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 anyone willing to pm these tunes to me? thanks-andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The bass playing on these songs is really great. John is one of the best. This is Paul McCartney-esque playing right there. He's playing very busy lines, but always mindful of the song first. Paul couldn't have played "You Are My Face" any better than John did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Artifex Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Jeff's vocals sound GREAT. You can tell that he's happy, and not dying from migraines. It's wonderful. Am I the only one that half expects you are my face to end in a noise fest? :-D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawthorne Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 incredible. i had a smile on my face during all three. classic rock is revived! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I love all three of these, I can't wait for the whole thing to leak. I think our boys have done it again. Â --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danelectro Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Okay now I'm beggin' PM me please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 yeah, these songs are really amazing. the record needs to leak immediately. i'm really hoping it will leak by Saturday and give my weekend some color. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think after hearing these three, I can wait. In my opinion, the only thing that sounds mellow, at least on these tracks, is Kotche. He isn't bashing the cymbals alot, even on parts like the end of Walken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Artifex Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Read the rules man, no direct links. I managed to find it pretty easy using Google. It ain't hard. It's worth mentioning that yes, these tracks clearly haven't been mastered, so the actual send on record could end up with alot more edge to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
