Indeed, the mixing is underwhelming at best and vocals are drowned as hell. The final result? Lack of clarity in the mix to push the bombastic approach and, of course, everything is muddy and boomy as hell except for the drums which are far too loud and those detached from the rest (also drum parts are clearly programmed and not played by Hahto unless he tracked the parts to be then replaced 100% by samples).

@@francescopanciroli1382 I do think it’s Kai on kit the whole way through, but yeah every drum is definitely sampled and processed to hell. I don’t think I’ve heard a more heavily quantized record and that includes stuff like drill death metal. I don’t hate that in of itself though, I had to get used to it on the first Time but I can feel what Jari is going for. Oddly enough, the clarity is improved on my AirPods whereas in the car or a speaker, it’s that ticktock kick/snare thing clearly dominating. I have to wonder if it’s a staging thing. I got used to it but getting used to the character of the mix is something IMO more suited to classic metal, black metal, more raw stuff with that charm…the slickness of the Time project needs to be going all the way in terms of clarity for max effectiveness, just plug in and go. Jari also said he has a different orchestral effect on practically every riff and I hate that we aren’t really hearing that either. Maybe we’re feeling the *effect* of it, I’m not sure, I didn’t get the package with the stems. But I’d just love to be more immersed in the layers here.

@@francescopanciroli1382 The drums are said to have been live tracked by Kai, with triggers on them (at least the kick and snow, probably the toms, too). You can definitely tell that the kick is basically 100% sample-replaced, and the snare is def mostly sample-replaced, unless it's partly the acoustic snare in there, with a really flat and low tuning. Can't hear much snare rattle, too. Tbf the drums were tracked a decade ago, so the recording quality may have not been fully satisfactory for Jari's ears today, in the modern climate of trigger-heavy mixes.

Yes, I'm still looking for it, thanks! My e-mail adress is: panciroliambrosettifrancesco@gmail.com

Greetings from Italy

The usual blah blah blah of those who have nothing to say

There seem to be a problem with kakko's performance....

Guys, the time goes for all! They got old and are humans like others. They are more than 20 years doing the same. Any moment it would go to happen doesn't? Now, who complains about the band performance, I bet wouldn't hold it on at least 5 years.

The new album fucking rules 🤘🤘 you’re wrong bud

There are no longer legacies of this type of bands, it is better to enjoy their music live while they are still alive. (on the drums, good remastering of the double bass drum)

Ero di fronte alla spia tra Hansi e Siepen e, per fortuna, non avevo nessuno di estremamente alto davanti il che ha consentito riprese decenti 😅 Inoltre sono anni che mi porto dietro uno Huawei Mate 10 Pro che, per quanto vecchiotto, fa video molto belli e con un audio decisamente accettabile (inoltre non uso la batteria del telefono principale) tanto che tutti i video più belli che ho sul canale (soprattutto quelli degli Stratovarius) sono stati registrati utilizzando solo quello e un minimo di EQ :)

Nulla in particolare, in realtà, ho equalizzato un minimo ma poca roba per tagliare un po' gli overtone ed evitare l'effetto ronzio dato che ero vicino ad uno dei PA

I'm from Reggio Emilia, near Modena! And yes, Guardian are beast indeed, crazy show even tho the crowdsurf prevented longer recordings. Now it's time for Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica by the end of this month. Hope you enjoyed Italy as well, btw :)

Concerto magnifico tanto che oggi sono andato al lavoro con tre ore e mezzo di sonno, con il collo dolorante dall'headbanging (e dai tizi che mi piombavano in testa facendo crowdsurf) e completamente senza voce. Ma ne è valsa abbondantemente la pena. Sicuramente nella mia top 3 :D

Prego ed assolutamente grandissimo concerto! Purtroppo non ho potuto registrare altro siccome il crowdsurf costante mi impediva di poter registrare senza interruzioni e, ad un certo punto, mi sono semplicemente rassegnato

@@francescopanciroli1382 almeno ti sei goduto il concerto ....ciaooo💪

Concordo, sicuramente nella mia top 3! Riguardo alla location tieni presente che il locale non era soldout, quindi non avrebbe avuto senso farli suonare in un posto più grande. Anche il concerto di Stratovarius e Sonata Arctica sarà lì e credo che, a livello di meri numeri, gli Stratovarius siano più di richiamo dei Blind, a maggior ragione con i Sonata come co-headliner; penso proprio che il Power, in italia, viaggi tra i 1000 ed i 3000 biglietti staccati ricadendo perfettamente all'interno di locali come Alcatraz, Fabrique, Legend Club e Magazzini Generali. Solo gli Helloween con la reunion hanno dovuto spostarsi al Mediolanum, ma è stato un unicum

@@francescopanciroli1382 esatto per il pubblico italiano può andare bene ...si ho visto ancora qualche biglietto in vendita c era ....ciaooo

Ciao: le porte sono state aperte alle 19:00 circa, alle 19 e 45 hanno cominciato gli Scardust che hanno finito attorno alle 20 e 30 mentre i Blind Guardian hanno cominciato alle 21 e 15 e finito alle 23

@@francescopanciroli1382 Grazie, sei stato gentilissimo

Exactly

@@francescopanciroli1382 grande chitarra complimenti

They play to a click track so the tempo is the same as the studio version, they simply play it half step down

thank you for uploading this video, it's a powerful song and it's my favorite song

Hai effettivamente digitato dei simboli

Well, I think they composed it on their own but you can clearly hear the influence of "Destiny"

Don't listen to it then. It's a live gig recording, what did you expect?

@@francescopanciroli1382 to hear Timo and not some dude yelling into his phone but perhaps my expectations are too lofty

@@douglasbrickler7650 go to a gig then since personal recordings are for fun and not to record something professionally

@@francescopanciroli1382 fair point
