So I just dug out my vinyl copy of the record and gave it a spin for the first time - the thing sounds like absolute shit. Bucketloads of distortion, crazy surface noise, both of which even supersede the music at points. Looks like I won't ever be playing this again. Anybody else had this issue? Is ...

Probably to bring down the number of songs with references to death in the title. Plus 'You're All Dead To Me' is a little on-the-nose.

Re: Re:

It's been discussed somewhere else already. Basically the idea for the backing vocals came later, at a point when it wasn't possible anymore to put them on the album, but they did manage to put them on the single. Aww man... :balling: Is there some way to get the single in lossless quality? iTunes/...

I don't think you should read too deeply into the cover art, it's clearly just been designed by someone who has done merch for them before. The main body is ripped straight from an old t-shirt and the logo has been slapped on there with a shitty filter despite the fact that the style clashes horribly.

Why oh why do they not provide uncompressed digital downloads? I ordered the vinyl but am going to have to keep trawling Soulseek and hope somebody has it in lossless.

Mastering can be pretty objective in cases like this. Even experienced engineers fall for the same old shit - it's just been mastered too damn loud and there's no dynamic range which can really affect sound separation and give everything a 'compressed' feel. It's not a question of taste, it's just l...

Posting impressions as I go along. A Murder of Crows: Fantastic opener, atmospheric and brutal at the same time. A nice surprise. Goddamn I'm Dead Again: Fuck, that solo was more than I expected. Structurally quite an interesting song, nice to see from the first two tracks that they're not as intent...

A murder of crows -Epic -A bit like Reason to Believe -It has violins in it -Then hell breaks loose -Excellent opener 2. Goddamn -DTLI and Chuck-ish -Hell of a solo: first it's complex and...

It's completely different from album to album, and entirely depends on the label's policy. Sometimes it'll be months in advance, sometimes reviews will be embargoed until release. Generally speaking, review copies are distributed maybe a month before release and reviews are embargoed for two weeks o...

Re: Re:

I don't get how do leaks actually happen. Is it Anonymous involved or something? I guess there are two extreme cases, either someone involved in the recording/mixing/mastering/artwork/advertisement/label/whatever -section "steals" it (that would explain why it doesn't match the final reco...
