Re: The Official SCOTT STAPP Thread

This new stuff is bad and him talking about Chris Cornell like they were friends is gross. (Also he mentions other "friend" Chester Bennington dying a year after Chris. It was two months.) https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/creed-frontman-scott-stapp-overcoming-addiction-paying-homage/st...

Re: Wouldn't You Rather

There was so much drama after Rise Today was released. It’s pretty funny looking back on it though. lmao I was like 20 years old and I went offfff, full on temper tantrum - it was stupid weirdly enough the issues I had with the song at that time are long gone (at the time I was very right-leaning; ...

Re: AB VI Studio/Recording Thread

As I said, tidal converts when you upload to it. So it is a smaller rate turned into a higher rate.. that doesn’t make it a true 320... and it doesn’t sound like a true 320. In all honesty - It’s an industry standard to do all dsp’s the same rate.. normally files get switched out closer to release ...

Re: AB VI Studio/Recording Thread

"Master" on Tidal sounds all right. Vox are surprisingly low in the mix.

The song still doesn't strike me as anything special, though.

Re: AB VI Studio/Recording Thread

I hear “it’s okay not to like a song” every single time something gets released here. Been lurking here for a long time, and used to post (but deleted my accounts), but there are a lot of people on here that get mad if AB isn't consistently praised. It *is* okay to dislike their work, and I get it ...

Re: AB VI Studio/Recording Thread

It's no Isolation.

The Slash influence is also undeniable (and not particularly welcome). Too early to comment on the mixing / mastering but my first impression is not positive.

I think I prefer it to Show Me A Leader (faint praise).

Re: AB VI Studio/Recording Thread

Anyway, John Carpenter is my very favorite filmmaker and Mark mentioning him is incredibly exciting to me. John is an amazing composer and I highly recommend his "Lost Themes" albums, not to mention his scores and Anthology record. Synth is vital to most of his scores (I'm a huuuuuge synt...

Hi! A few of you might remember me. I was here from the beginning but not all that much since Blackbird. I was a diehard Creed fan as a teenager and very into AB during the ODR years. Lost interest in hard rock about ten years ago but have always kept up with AB. When they're at their best, their so...

And it's the one that sounds like Creed - the irony.
It's upbeat and catchy, which I love. Very modern sounding. Doesn't sound like Creed other than being an earworm.
