    • @MrTeaTimeGaming
      @MrTeaTimeGaming 4 роки тому +5

      This is my first time seeing this recording, been avoiding it because I didn't really like asymmetry, like I got a decent chunk into it and came to the executive decision that it was just not worth listening any more and I'd wait for new material again.
      Hearing this recording, this is far far better.
      That and seeing them play we are live yesterday has made me super in love with that song now.
      Edit: just listened to we are again on the album, I know why I don't like the album.
      All you can really hear is ian, the share drum, one of the guitars and whatever the sample.
      There's huge elements of the song that are completely missing thanks to some poor use of faders.

    @ChristopherRoss. 9 років тому +57

    I think the balance of the mix in this recording is so much more impactful than the actual album. For some reason the album has the vocals way too forward, and the the bass pulled back in places where it should shake walls (see 3:40).
    I really wish they had recorded the whole album there, and had you guys mix it. XD

  • @Nickshreds890
    @Nickshreds890 4 дні тому

    Karnivool blew my mind live in concert. Being able to hear a perfectly mixed session of them playing is heavenly.
    The guitar sounds are so lush . And then they kick you in the stomach with slow riffs sliding up and down the neck creating a sense of intensity and foreboding warning
    The vocals can be heard without overshadowing the band. The mixing is very balanced, so you aren't losing the little details that make Karnivool even more spectacular than they already are.
    I don't know what a perfect mix is, but to me, this sounds outstanding!
    By the way hearing Ian say " that was the tits" totallyn 😂out of nowhere cracked me up

    Been addicted ever since!
    Also, to anyone seeing this, my nephew, (Shaun Snow) is in a new band, "Solaria" with Matt Mcjunkins, (A Perfect Circle, Pucifer, Eagles of Death Metal) and Micheal Levine, (Falling In Reverse) with the first single to be released in conjunction with the video, in early 2021.

    Hopeless in deep space
    You made us wait like you used to
    I was an utter disgrace
    You made us sing "hallelujah"
    And now it's all gone
    Every time we tried
    We cannot pity, we cannot stand around
    Nervous for the hope we ache to find
    Every time we tried
    Which one are you?
    Two sides of a coin
    Taking pride in plenty of good advice
    Win or lose our minds
    In a picture, perfect
    Every time we've tried
    Nervous for the hope we ache to find
    (We cannot pity, we cannot stand around)
    Every time we tried
    (Every time we tried)
    (Every time we tried)
    We've got to say
    All feelings aside
    Every new life rises
    We all build together
    (We all see your call)
    Win or lose our minds
    Win or lose our minds
    In a picture, perfect
    Every time I tried
    Break the mold
    Let's shake the ground
    Wreak havoc
    [x8]
    We all strike a match
    And burn this ordinary life
    When the sun rises high
    You'd best pray you're the better man
    [x2]
    We've all gotta take to the wall soon
    Or break free or burn it to the ground
    This ain't no ordinary life [x4]
