Don't waste your money. Some engineers/producers can record drums correctly. Elvis has showed up multiple times that he can't, and they sound just as bad in FLAC as they do in mp3.Kreuger wrote:I was just listening to Dust in my car today and the cymbals (especially hihats) were annoying. I'm debating tracking down a FLAC copy to see if it's any clearer. It sounds like a low quality YouTube rip.chtimixeur wrote:@anguyen92: you should focus on the drums, and especially the cymbals. They really sound awful, and I can't understand why Elvis is still unable to record them properly after so many years and albums.
I would agree with you if they brought full songs to the band. They don't, and they insist in mixing up Myles and Mark's ideas in each song.Dolo wrote:I think Mark and Myles sit on those songs for a longer while. They then bring them to the rehearsal space, Flip and Brian learn their parts, little adjustments are made and the record is done.
That's why, IMHO, they need much more than a couple of weeks to let those songs develop organically in a room.
But alas, they've shown again and again that they don't want to get out of their comfort zone. We've had those debates before, and we'll for sure have them again the future, since they're so set in their ways.
