Next nevermore album....

[craptastic]

On a more serious note...

Please please please Nevermore...



DO NOT RECORD WITH ANDY SNEAP!!

He is not good for Nevermore! Two (and a half) albums is ENOUGH! He is NOT your George Martin! Let someone with fresh ears and a fresh mind produce! Andy's sound is tired, and is not helping out the band! He was revolutionary in the replaced digimetal movement, but he hasn't done anything sonically interesting since he initially extolled the virtues of liberal cutting, pasting and replacing! There are plenty of people completely owning Sneap in both sonics and creativity, and thats exactly what Nevermore needs right now. Don't retread the past (Sneap will never top Dead Heart), Nevermore needs a kick in the nuts to the future and Andy is not the guy to do it! We need organic brutality from the rehearsal room, not from the Apple keyboards!

//dont use Andy Sneap

Okay. Maybe Sneap can loan someone here a couple wires from his studio to choke you out.

What about Bob Rock, Metallica booted him, so maybe he needs someone shoulder to cry on, ya know those bastards are meanies....
or the guy who mixed justice?

seriously, I like Andy and Neil Kearnon. The production of TGE is GODLY. Furthermore, he doesn't get involved in writting songs, so the way the band writes is totally up to them, Sneap just mixes it and may give some suggestions about the solos, but nothing major. I also like the production of DNB too, is heavy as fuck. The guitars are recorded in a way, the first time i heard the songs, i thought they were on seven strings.... NK is also a very competent producer. Either way nevermore can't go wrong, in my humble opinion!

 

[Karmic]

maybe tagtgren would be fun

 

[derek]

I wrote it.

and I helped in the planning stages.

 

[derek]

I like Andy Sneaps work. I'm by no means an expert (far from it!) but I own quite alot of the records he's been involved in and I think he does a damn good job on them all. I, for one, loved the mix on TGE.

I'm not against seeing Kernon involved again, or indeed someone else if *the band* feels it's best.

 

[Lunar Still]

I didn't see any problems with Andy or Neil K.'s work. I think if the band just absolutely kicks ass, the production could be absolute shit and the awesomeness of the album would still shine through.

(coughEoRcough)

 

[derek]

I dunno, the original mix of EoR was fucking atrocious.

 

[Lunar Still]

EoR (yes, the original mix) was actually the first Nevermore album I ever heard, but despite the poor production I still loved it. It was best listened-to early in the fucking morning on the way to school in the freezing rain, when you were nice and pissed off and didn't want to be there. Memorable in a Darkthrone, recorded-in-a-cave sort of way.

EDIT: But don't use Kelly Gray again, honestly that guy sucks.

 

[derek]

Yeah, I agree. I first listened somewhere after the release of DNB, so the Enemies mix *really* stood out as being terrible. That said, I still listened to the record a whole load.

It was a sex record for like three months, too. Mainly because I was too lazy to change cd's.

 

[flying_whale]

i pwn the TGE mp3s from the hard disck 24/7. I really dig it music wise, production wise. same goes for the remasters, DNB. Dead heart has some kick ass mixing. On Inside four walls it just sounds so heavy. and on engines of hate the mixing is pure sneapy like. I think the best mixed song on TGE is Born

 

[Sentient 6]

next nevermore epic song:
lalalala acustic guitar
then chug chug paues chug pinch harmonic chug pause treeeeemooooooloooooo pinch harmonic sweep arppegio chugx15 with WD describing his experience smoking weed in da club with his best friend enimen and 50cents. then a sweep arpeggio, then tremoloo then chug chug pinch harmonic emniment guest appearance sweep arpeggio alternate picked run bass interlude drum solo pinch harmonic squel sweep arpegio treeeeemolooooo enter sandman cover, alexi laiho guest guitar solo on top of guest st.anger cover. sweep arpegio, steve plays and epic solo then wd rapps around about steve's solo then jeff plays a solo that ends with a majestic squel of love

umm , who the heck told you about Alexi, 'cause you're really not too far off the mark there

Bring back Kernon, I want to hear Jim again

 

[flying_whale]

you can hear jim pretty clearly with andy mixing, but if i'm not mistaken you may not distinguish between him and jeff because they may be doubling/harmonizing the riffs. You can clearly hear him on sentient 6, a future uncertain, tge.
at WD, promise me you won't kill that guy?

 

[flying_whale]

it is not sneap who writes the songs and shit. If they worked with any other producer, tge would still have the same songs 99%, but with a shittier mixing.
it is loomey, smythy, and WD who write the songs, not the producers....thus i don't give a fuck as long as the next one is not EoR 2nd edition in terms of production

 

[derek]

Production can change the tone of a record - how it feels and how one experiences it.

It'd be quite funky to hear some really pronounced bass, but I think Paul is correct, Jim is still right in there on the TGE mix.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about; unless Jim is deviating from the same riffs that the guitar is playing, I personally can't really hear him. Whereas on a song like 7 Tongues of God or PoE you can really hear him.

Next Nevermore?
What about something like a duet with me...?
