The mix sounds like it is lacking in treble. Anyone else noticing this? Compare it to other recordings and you may see what I mean.

I felt that way about Rather Ripped, but I don't see how someone could think that about The Eternal.

Yup I've had a problem with the production since day 1. They should keep doing what they did with Sonic Nurse forever and ever. That was the best sounding album in a long time. |

i know what you mean but can't quite express it. somebody else w/ a similar opinion wondered if the 'turn up the treble' line in sacred trickster was a literal suggestion. i will say that it sounds great w/ headphones and i can pick out everyone's part beautifully. sometimes it bothers me that they insist on sticking to the same 'lee on left, kim in the middle, thurston in the right' mix but with headphones it's quite luscious. yes, luscious.
am eagerly anticipating hearing that $9 vinyl though...mmm...

maybe it is your ears lacking in treble because there is no lack on it on my eternal cd.

no. the treble is crisp and clear, it evan bites your ear when you turn it up. sound engeneering is very good, though the music itself is shit. i guess, that is why you feel a little dull listening to it. and the mp3s are dull, maybe thats your problem.

the music is great. sound is a little boxy. there, i tried to describe it. it still sounds great, it's just an observation (that a lot of people seem to have).

but boxy fits to that music. thats exactly what they wanted to do this time, i guess. thats not any "lack of something" - if you like the music. i dont like it. just wanted to say it again :-) |

A bit over compressed perhaps?

i think if anything it is because jim O' rourke had pre-set all the settings on the mixing board.
hahahahah!

No, it's not that. I've compared it to several other recordings/artists. It's definitely the mix. |

This sounds serious as the guys who work in the studio could make a brilliant recording session by a band sound rubbish.
