So, i'm from fargo, ND and a local band These Hearts recently got signed to victory records and today they released their new album.
they are friends of mine, and the fact that they are a local band makes me want to help them out, so i bought the album.
Sounds like shit. (I can't do better, but hey, I don't do this for a living)
It honestly sounds like they took the most annoying part of the singers voice (which lots of people hate to begin with) and made it prominent. You can barely understand what he's saying. They recorded the vocals, and had the album mixed with Matt Dalton at 37 Studios (did. In one of the songs you can hear where the vocals were cut. Like, seriously dude? I honestly feel bad for the band.
Or is this maybe something that was slaughtered in mastering?
Here's some clips. I posted a clip of their older stuff, which, i think sounds MUCH better, and as a reference for how the singers voice sounds like for real.
