Before Their Eyes - Untouchable

[ArroldW]

So I REALLY like the drums on this production. The snare sounds a lot bigger then his usual drums. I've noticed Joey does this "bigger snare" tones for the softer bands [Lets get it, the march ahead, ect.] Just wanted to know if it was a Z1 with a shit ton of verb added on it or a Z1 AND a Z4 at the same time.

And as far as the vocal melodies, did the vocalist write all of the melodies and Joey just fine tune them or are they collaborated between vocals and joey and then finalized with the band? Thanks

Vocal melodies are awesome on this CD

 

[RattyFiend]

probably my favorite album musically joey has produced. the pop punk and softer songs are amazing.

I also dig the production/mix on this disc quite a bit. It's a nice change from the typical, heavier, stuff. Everything is so crisp and clear.

can't remember the combination i ended up with, but i used slate for this cd

we had a guy from island records write like 70% of the vocal melodies. he was a co-writer for the entire album. the rest was done by me and nick. a few songs on this disc are the result in my attempting to write big time radio songs ie: "not alone" and "start with today"

fun fact: the only real instrument on start with today is the slide guitar (played by my dad). wrap your head around that one! yes, the acoustic guitar isnt real.

I always wondered about that, cause the first time I heard the song, I was reminded of this

I just feel like a lot of people would like this album a lot more if the tracks had been rearranged. All the heavier songs are at the end. They should be more mixed!

Hehe Joey, I love hearing your production on "lighter" records. Damn, that sounds like stuff my girlfriend would love.

 

[davidcortese]

is it just me or does the intro for not alone sound like baba o'riley by the who

 

[gotet10]

Hey Joey, did you use different snares for some of the tracks on the album?

+1 That's what I am trying to figure out.
