Can’t say I really thought about wanting this, but their other recent re-recording package came out quite nicely, so guess I’m here for this one too!

I can’t believe this, if this sound anything similar to the rework they did in GDS i’m gonna die haha

I LOVE THE AVOIDED SUN SO MUCH GOD DAMN

I would prefer even to just have a new regular maxi single over this.

That’s a nice thought.

I’m happy that theyre looking to the past, and giving us a re-work of (imho) their very best work.

The SHADOWS mix better have a pummeling snare in the production.

Shadows is the ONLY album of theirs i don’t love listening to so for the first time in my life i may the up preferring a remake :open_mouth:

First time hearing this! What don’t you like about SHADOWS?

i wish i could articulate better bc i don’t fully know! it certainly isn’t the songwriting, which is always consistent.

i think it sits at a bit of a midpoint between the raw ‘we don’t know what we’re doing but the mixer can clean it up’ of gds/avoided sun and the super locked in ‘this is metalcore vkei’ direction of believe and on.

i want to say the same thing about it that i want to say about naitomea’s world ruler - another album i LOVE but hate the sound of. somehow i want to call them both dry and flat, but idk what that means.
maybe not enough reverb/delay/ambiance? maybe just enough compression to lose dynamics but not enough that it’s tight? somehow the whole album kinda rolls off my ears without any investment, yet i love what’s before and after it.

maybe i could say there’s not enough ‘moments’ in the production where one thing changes to another, each track just kinda rolls forward being a track whereas all the other albums around this time had a lot of differentiation from part to part or cymbal hits or screams or other guiding sounds that shape your attention as you listen.

i guess this is the first album where i thought of lynch as ‘coasting’, even tho what comes after (believe/inferiority) absolutely isn’t. and i think i put the ‘blame’ not on their songwriting but just how interesting the mixing/production seems to find each song, and thereby tell me.

with an exception being Cultic My Execution, that one’s already great from first listen, very solid and knowing what it wants to be.
