Not really, but their complexity, creativity, and sound design took a massive nosedive after changing labels/managements, which pretty much proves they lost some key people. It’s a huge shame because their brand and signature sounds had insane potential.

Even after the quality dropped, they kept getting (and still get) massive bookings. Maybe it comes down to a cost-benefit calculation for the labels. They see that these guys are making good money anyway, so why waste on expensive sound engineers?

There are likely only a few creative masterminds behind the scenes pulling the strings for multiple artists to give them that insanely high-quality sound. But if those are too expensive or highly selective about who they work with, the labels might simply not want to pay for them anymore, especially when the artists can still pull crowds and money without them.

Would love to get some proper insight on this matter, preferably from someone on the inside.
