I listened to some Inearthed and then switched straight to Are You Dead Yet? It's so damn visible how little the keyboard has been used to create astmosphere. Actually, not at all. For example Hatecrew Deathroll has some ultra pretty keyboard shit in the background (Angels Don't Kill, Sixpounder..) Is it purposeful, that they wanted AYDY to sound purely heavy as fuck?
I'm not talking about the mixing work. Everybody knows the guitars can't be heard, and that sucks, but they haven't been used the way they did before to create the "feeling". And with keyboards they only do some ultimately cool stuff in Punch Me I Bleed (and T,L&S chorus if you listen super carefully.) Of course AYDY might sound "atmospheric" after listening to Death or something..
Only the intro to Living Dead Beat (plus the general psychological affection of the song AYDY, especially with the parts with low piano and the dissonance guitar riff) is something legendary about the album. I just hope they won't keep going this same pure trash path on their next album.. Of course there's this other kind of attraction about songs like In Your Face, it's so clear that it bites almost real. I'd like a mix of FtR & AYDY?
