The Devil Wears Prada - Born To Lose

+ FUCKING 1 to this. Been thinking about this a LOT the past months...

glad you're on board, Josh. Welcome brother =D

Totaly my opinion too.

I am totaly over with that polished and clean mixes, I mean its metal, harcore and what not. Its rough and tuff music why should the production sound any different ?

I want a growly bass and meaty drums :)
 
Yup. Today I gave this mix a second chance in my ipod at work.. And I have to say I'm loving this style! Especially the guitars. But to be honest I still think thet the vocalist has done better screams in the older records.
 
Lets look at this for what it is! Adam is a talented engineer, musician and song writer. His records sound raw, powerful and organic. All of these things TDWP do not have in them. Joey is always the 6th man with the bands he records. Alot of people say Joey ruins the bands he records and over produces. But we all know from recording bands ourselves that sometimes bands just don't have it them and need the help. TDWP knows that Joey is part of their sound and made sure to include him.

IMO Joey brings amateur musicians to a working professional level.
 
I actually liked the high vocals, they remind me of Continuance. The music is meh, way better than everything they've ever put out I'll give them that.
 
People will soon remember what brought them so close to their favorite records. Passionate talented musicians who put their heart, soul and imperfections in every record. Now its all about how much do i pay to sound like "Born of the Devil wears Osiris." Grid editing, Superior 2.0 and Auto Tune are all tools I use along with the most of us. So don't get me wrong, we provide a service and our job is to please the client. Take it easy on the engineer cause thats all of us.
 
Production is WAYYYYY better then any sturgis stuff.
Because it sounds like real instruments and not like kick10 and snare12

i would've agreed, until zombie EP... i hated roots, thought zombie was amazing, and think this is in between... i vote zombie for the better sound. i might even call it MORE organic sounding to me than this.
 
Zombie is too harsh for my taste.
And I agree with the over-mechanical modern productions. Like I said on the Sturgis forums, TDWP's first album is still my favorite because it encompasses that raw style from the band that I love. IMO, TDWP isn't a band that should have a 110% "perfect" sounding production.
 
i actually dig the mixproduction. The song isnt bad either.(although far from great)

Yup. Today I gave this mix a second chance in my ipod at work.. And I have to say I'm loving this style! Especially the guitars.

I dig it... but I tend to like stuff that everyone else here hates.:) I'm definitely a fan of Sturgis' work, but it's nice to hear this band with a new sound.

I really love this mix/production right now. I think i'm just over that super clean/over edited production thing. Ugly is the new beautiful.

I think this sounds great, you guys are fucking crazy. hahaha

FFFUUUUU I dig the shit out the guitar sound, has some character that makes it a bit unique IMO.

i fucking love it. super creative production.... i can feel the vibe that house gave them..... SICKKKKKKK.

Yup :p
