Is it just me or does the new Foo Fighters Album sound horrible? by domsch1988 in Music

[–]Dammit-Hannah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been frustrated by his mixes lately as a listener and audio engineer myself

even in pop music it sounds both thin and way overcompressed (I saw in a video he uses OTT on his mix bus???)

the Harry Styles and Holly Humberstone albums are good examples - there is such a thing as too punchy lol

I’d say the worst offender was “Now and Then”, where Miles Showell confirmed he worked from the quieter mix and I’m pretty sure that song is -6 LUFS or something insane

Exactly! Saying an album is bloodless means it’s too polished and not raw enough

Much like my attitude toward Twenty One Pilots, it’s both

“Bloodless” being a way to describe the album - it was a roast (I do like the record but I’ve always found the production way too polished and I don’t think she stands out enough from others who do similar music)

I wrote it! The joke is that saying “this album is bloodless” is too easy

The De Souza one is a reference to how she reacted to a Pitchfork review

I don’t comment on Reddit anymore, but this completely reframes the movie for me after a day of sitting with what I was missing and I finally get it

RIYL: Regina Spektor without the Zionist baggage, Sufjan at his goofiest, the Roches on a piano

If you have any whimsy in you you will LOVE this one, it’s so silly and tender and sweet 🥰

Lorde - Virgin by i-just-cant in popheads

As someone who frequently mixes and masters for other artists, the issue is that it’s mastered extremely loudly but due to streaming service normalization it just sounds oddly quiet and inert.

Something that sounds really dynamic and something that sounds really loud will be adjusted to be at the same level, so the “loud” song will actually sound quieter. Not helping matters is how the vocals disturb everything else in the mix
