HOLY CRAP TURN DOWN THE GAIN JOHNNY!!!
sigh.
"American IV" is a pretty freakin awesome album, but good god is it poorly recorded :(
"hurt" is nearly unlistenable for all that distortion. how'd they manage that?
i've been informed that "hurt" is supposed to be like that. it's "artsy".
whatever.
the whole album still has way too much gain, and other songs are similarly distorted.
i stand by my comments.
Sure, pick on the dead guy. .|..
I am pretty sure thats how he would respond.
Oh, a Mister Hendrix called. Some sort of preemptive strike related to your upcoming essay on electromagnetic feedback.
now now, there's a difference between distortion in the guitars, and warbling of the vocals.
sure, distortion sounds cool on an electric guitar, and a ministry album just wouldn't be ministry without the vocals piped through a crappy mic, but why make johnny cash sound like that?
bring on the distortion guitars, please, but leave the vocals clean.
