Cannot overstate how much I hate the production and mix on this. Vocals sound like they were recorded in a paper bag, cymbals are mush, guitars and snares are in thankless competition throughout the whole record, every instrument sounds like it was recorded in a separate hotel room etc.. Wil Putney's engineering techniques really are fit for an autopsy.
Otherwise this bangs + great rev! Sounds like much more focused take on their Tropic Rot sound and I'd be blasting it a ton if the prod didn't make me want to hack my ears off.
Cheers lad, fair. Personally I can live with the production on individual elements, especially the drums which still have that haymaker impact, even if they’re not quite as resonant as I’d like. I don’t really hear anything as inherently weak though, find it the opposite if anything. Mix to me feels too strong all at once, like the polish and attempted grit are pulling it in diff directions. Definitely gets congested when it all stacks up together tho yea. Still, I’m just happy the record came out this well after all these years

Sounds like a good record with a bitcrusher plugin pasted over the top (typical Putney sound)
