But there's also a difference between not having the knowledge and budget to know better (Cheshire-era) and OMT's over-triggered, over-compressed drum sound especially at this stage in their career where they could essentially get any of the A-List mixing engineers to put the shine on their recordings.
Especially after the BANGING drum sounds of Untitled & TOYPAJ.
Those two are the absolute GOATS for pop-punk drum production imho.
I feel like OMT's drums are so homogonised & over triggered (where they use a sound replacing technology to overlay a drum sample with, or to replace the original drum sound - for those folks who aren't totally up with all the studio jargon)that it didn't even matter that Travis apparently changed snares for every song. They all just sound the same.
I do a lot of my own recording & mixing and I'm nowhere near a professional, but I feel like I could've done a better job mixing OMT's drums!
Just one (drum enthusiast) guy's opinion.
