new attack attack song (GREAT JOB JOEY)

this band reminds me of stuff like bullet for my valentine. continually changeing genre to fit into the big thing at the time. which sucks cause i actually enjoyed this cause its a shit load like the last 2 for the fallen dreams records.

cant beleive i i just enjoyed a song from this band:erk:
 
Really polished mix (guitars sound kinda weird IMO though), but not my type of music all that much.

Back to Soilwork's new song!
 
just so everyone knows, the gang vocals werent really my idea
i dont like the verse ones

sorry the singing isnt everyone's cup of tea. i also think they could have been much better

this song was written as we recorded it. its pretty thrown together actually, but it came out pretty good despite that.

thanks on mix compliments. that was also thrown together lol.

if a band comes to my studio with songs they wrote a year ago and have been practicing for some time
then sure, i'll try all sorts of new things, because the songs really arent in question

but when a band comes into the studio with 2 songs and expects to write, practice, record, and edit 10 more... well there's not much time for hooking up amps and moving mics around now, is there?
especially when the band is made up of 6 people who disagree about everything OR have so much ADD that they change everything possible at the worst possible times

this is the usual situation in my realm, and this is what i deal with on a dialy basis, so you get what you get with the circumstances, time frame, budget, blah blah

the clean break on this song was literally sent to me a day before i mixed the song, it used to be a completely different part, i had to cut the song up and hit delete, and insert that clean break thing in there. thats just the way things go.

on a lighter note, i love the attack attack dudes, and we have a lot of fun when we hang out and work on stuff. but some situations arent always the best, which means lots of "preset" action on my part. when i mix i tweak around, but usually im under the gun when im mixing (due in 3 days or something like that). so i dont really have time to scratch my chin and a/b shit all day.
 
I think im probly the only one on this forum that likes attack attacks old stuff. Ill probly get a load of shit for it but who gives, its music, all music is preference.
I love the new stuff, but i really miss the old attack attack sound.

Also, great job as always joey, cant wait to hear there rest of the album when i get it.

No your not.. but i cant think of a single member with over a 1000 posts that likes them. :lol:
 
Still would love to hear a recto on this hehe!
Joey, you essentially record di's into podfarm and work from there right??? Ever thought of getting like a track reamped from a board member?? Even if it's just for kicks?? I can just imagine some other tones really soundig just demolishing on this one and some times the pod stuff just doesn't get get that big grinding sound you know??
But good mix anyway :)
