Hey guys!
I am recording engineer and have great interests towards studiowork in general. Since i am big fan of opeth i can't stop wondering why they chose fascination street to record their next lp. Don't get me wrong but i have heard couple of records that recently came out from that studio and they seem completely stelil and lacking character to me. For example, my younger brother were recording album there and it sounds ok and maybe great to their music since it's kinda that big "american styled rock". Same with new soilwork release. Sounds were of course very clear and they kicked big time but as a whole album sounded so steril it was boring. Of course it's not only the studio but producers and artists too that create sound to records. Why iam conserning this issue it's simply because imo fascination street isn't best place for opeth to record an album. And still i base my opinion only in stuff i have heard from that place. Still, who wants to hear completely overcompressed and overpolished sound.
Ok. just random thoughts. what you think about it?
