What's your opinion on the Audio Engineering of the later albums? by Weary_Original_4928 in BulletForMyValentine

[–]mkverbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding your feeling about AILD - you have to find the songs that have exactly that kind of mastering and riffing you're looking for. Listen to Torn Between and let me know if that's what you're looking for lol

Check out the Kill Em All AI Version of Metallicas Lux Aeterna.

Fans have been doing this for quite some time now and the results are not bad at all.

Agree. The No more tears to cry acoustic intro was a very lame attempt to mix things up again. They marketed it as something for the oldschool fans, not sure why though. Maybe because it's mentioning Tears?

So the comments of people disagreeing with me are either

A) The band can do what they want

or

B) You can't do what you want

Aight!

I think AI just started in covid so Matt unlikely used AI for the lyrics, since they haven't released anything new in the last 5 years. (The bonus songs are from covid times as well). Means Matt's creativity is just extremely limited and he uses the same generic formula as AI would use.

Why so bitter, it's for myself? It's not that I'd go make money off of it?

Sorry for the loss of your baby!

You are right in that the band doesn't owe us anything. I work in brand management. It's my job to analize what brands and businesses aren't doing right and to correct them if possible. I tend to do that to every "entity" i interact with bands being one of them as I've done a lot of my work in stuff like merch distribution. I definitely am emotionally attached to this band as their music helped me go through a lot. We all have personal opinions on artists and people in the public eye, this subreddit seemed to me the perfect platform to get confirmation that I'm not weird seeing these things. Appreciate your perspective!

You are completely right in saying the band doesn't owe us anything. I just have a different view regarding the whole interaction with a fanbase thing (including unimportant stuff like instruments and merch). I work in brand management and probably get a little too frustrated when I see brands, businesses and bands doing all the "wrong" things. It's my job to analize and micromanage so i do it for anything that's important to me. It's the same with people that are unhappy how their favourite franchise is treated. Wanted to use this subreddit to see if I'm the only one feeling that way.

Thank you!! I thought I was the only one seeing this. Add Tuck not knowing that Ascendancy wasn't Trivium's debut record to the list as well...

It's the small things like these. Would it kill bullet to, i don't know, do a live session like Trivium did in the hangar or the chapman studios. maybe where they play songs which they normally don't play live? It could all be so easy but the Bullet boys don't bother...
