The mix is pretty eh. It's not nearly as punchy as ADD or TEOH it seems like....and like I said, the kick drum is way more buried. The vox do seem pretty buried. Still, the mix isnt awful or anything, just not quite as unique or appealing as past stuff.
 
Yeah vocals seem very buried. To be honest, the first little while didnt seem nearly as bad as anything else howard jones has done, but then it all turned to shit...

Hercules to the rescue!
 
When i heard the Forgetten my head started to bang automatically. Very groovy! Maybe it's gonna be a grower, but first impression is indeed a little dissapointing. But i've had that with all the albums i totally dig at the moment
 
Wow, yeah, snare is way too loud, but I don't mind it sonically; guitars seem very underwhelming, muffled and CLOUDY (:D) but hard to tell through myspace
 
not really satisfied with this new album. The new darkest hour is much better.

its availible through blog searches. I DL'd it a couple days ago. the first 4 or are interesting. then after those, the tempo seems to slow down for the rest of the album. ive only had one chance to run through it though.

ps, the new Nightrage is rediculous.
 
Lead guitars sound great, rhythm guitars sound phasey and strange. Drums sound good. Howard sounds great as always. It's MySpace, so I'm not tripping out on any of that. Songs are catchy!

Looking forward to hearing it on CD. My initial impression is that the songs aren't as inspired as past work, but I've said that about literally EVERY KsE album with Howard at first, only to change my mind over time to be totally into each record. "Take Me Away" is an interesting track for them, the most standout one so far as far as being very distinctive on first listen.
 
It just amazes me that the forefront of the metal most of us like on this forum and in this genre gets laced with more vagina each and every single day.


People like Phil Howard and Anders piss me off considering they have some of the most fucking brutal screams I've ever heard, and they are singing fucking 101.5 K-Rock songs on their new albums...Just pisses me off that I have to go elsewhere just to fucking bang my head.
