"Exactly the music their fans want to hear".. by having the synths a bit louder? It's just a little thing.. and I think especially if COB is not 100% comfortable with the new album, at least they could do that.. I guess you voted 'no' just for the sake of disagreeing with me 90% say yes, so don't blame me.. I'm sorry I just can't understand why the keyboard parts I mentioned in the original post are silenced for the albums.. it's causing me gray hair. And I'm sure if Janne ever sees this he's gonna tell me to fuck off and not interrupt with what they're doing But the blue album is still the fans' favourite (as voted in my poll some year or two back) and it's not for no reason..
if they like their stuff the way its mixed and recorded I dont see any reason why they should it change for you.
And maybe they were silenced for the sake of heaviness or even to attract more people (gr1m metal dudes who hate keyboards) if it wasnt their own idea to make them quieter.
You are either someone who believes that a Band is there to amuse just you and make the music you want or still that dumb fanboi.
I dont know and I dont really care as I rarely listen to COB/Metal.
and.. no. I didnt take part in the poll.
