dudes! am i the one who think that RRF have the best recording quality and tone ?
No, I've been praising the tone ever since the first sample of the album was released. It's honestly their best production yet.
but SW is the only album I can listen from start to finish without skipping any songs.
Wtf.... I love COB to death but half the songs on Something Wild are actually quite horrible. First off, the guitar tone and production of SW is very, very bad. Second, most songs have a lot of cool parts but are overall not good and even bad because of amateur song writing. It's awkward to listen to, because there's these tempo changes that don't make sense, and riffs going into other riffs that don't really blend.
I don't feel exactly the FTR atmosphere on any other album.
That's because you're looking for it. You can't feel Hatebreeder atmopshere in the other albums, either. All of the albums are pretty unique. They've all got their own atmosphere, and you've got to let the FTR atmosphere go if you're going to give anything else an honest chance.
I think Blooddrunk recording has the best sound
.....what? The guitars were muddy and sometimes really unclear. That and it sounded too harsh. Blooddrunk was an experiment with changing gear and it failed.
Atmosphere in music is about the music making you envision a scenery or a situation.
My take on atmosphere. I feel that atmosphere in music doesn't necessarily have to provide you with a vision. Atmosphere to me is just a feeling and a sensation of overwhelming sounds. For example, a song without atmosphere for me goes in one ear and out the other. It's linear and boring. On the other hand, if a song has atmosphere than I feel like the sounds of the music is surrounding me. When the chorus of Children of Decadence hits, I'm not envisioning any kind of forest or anything. I just get this immense sensation of happiness for my ears and I just feel
immersed in the song.
Yeah, I have usually always linked the cover art and colors to the music but I lost that on Blooddrunk since I felt it didn't really have any atmosphere at all.
Following with what I just wrote, I get a sense of immersion on the Blooddrunk and Banned from Heaven tracks. I'm not envisioning anyone cutting themselves, but I can let the song drift my thoughts away with the atmosphere and get caught up in it. Especially with Banned from Heaven.. I forget that the song is playing and I just let my mind drift with it during the chorus. I can't say the same for the rest of the album, it's too generic and that's why I usually just skip it if it comes up on my ipod.
