I've got a choice to make whether to see Film School or New Pornographers in about a month... Not sure if Neko & Dan will still be on the NP tour... that would weigh heavy on the decision.

 

NP:

Just got back from seeing them... A bigger, less intimate show than the last time, but still, I :wub Midlake.

 

PS - no comments necessary from the Welsh Dandy. ;)

I don't like the production on this one at all. Too much wall-of-sound, with no dynamics, and way too much studio processing and poor mixing.

 

You are so right, what could have been great is just ok because of the horrible mix. There is no excuse for this mush, greatly dissapointed, makes darkness seem crystal clear and that was 78.

The production, though certainly not to my liking, doesn't ruin this record for me. I wish I could hear certain instruments better in the mix (piano, especially), but the muddiness almost seems like it was by design. Not a choice I would have made, but it's not too awful.

 

On certain Springsteen albums in the past (BITUSA, I'm looking at you) the keyboards were way too high in the mix, and this album goes in the opposite direction.

 

Altogether, it's a damn good album. Probably won't make my Top 10 of the year, but a solid effort.
