Hahaha, yeah, Latin America is populated mostly by Portugese and Spanish immigrants, with some mixing with the indigenous population.

damn i would want one of those 'Eye of Oden' tour shirts, as pictured in the Q booklet...
and anyone noticed the text on back of the olden domain shirt is wrong? it says 'awakened by the hands of winter.... straight in the eyes of autumn'. weird.

I don't think the album is "forgettable" but I totally agree with you for the production. Abyss is the most overrated studio on earth.
ErikSL said:
Sometimes the sound of the production actually works in the music's favour... but I agree, it could have been much much better.

I have all of 'em and Next to Epic Quintessence is probably the best produced sounding, I don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about.bngRox17!! said:
immigrants from portugal are mostly in brazil. whereas spanish immigrants are in all the other countries. technically speaking, portuguese would just be on south america

Empiricism is much clearer in terms of sound quality than Quintessence though, so I would say Empiricism is the next best produced.

The problem with Quintessence is that you can't hear the bass, the guitars are a bit "blurry" if you see what I mean, and you can't really hear clearly what's happening. At times it's like they put a bloody reverb on the whole mix. And you can't hear the bass. I wouldn't want that sound for my band haha. Did I say you can't hear the bass ?
In fact, I think even the Archaic Course has a better sound overall. Maybe less "powerful", but you can definitely hear what's happening more clearly. And there is a better emphasis on Simen's clean vocals because there is a lot of clean singing on Q too, it's just hidden beneath the wall of sound... I like that album, though. It's just that it could have been so much better with a decent sound IMO.

I don't like the sound Empiricism had >.<Nick_Perrin said:
Even though it has a few of my favorite songs it would be one of my least favorite albums.
