Highly Suspect - 'Lydia' - NME Basement Sessions

[@skeletonizer9529]

"Lydia" was the first song of theirs I heard. 😢😍

I just love that they are a 3 piece band and sounds sooooo good

[@phila0076]

Sent this song to my buddy, he said he didn't like it. We are no longer friends

[@aaronwineberg7678]

Ive seen these guys play half as many times as ive seen TOOL. Amazing live....MCID

[@christurbo951]

I love this band! There are few bands out there now that have a genuine sound like these guys. The simplicity is genius

[@WiteBizkit]

Highly Suspect are a great band, but I am yet to find a live version of one of their songs where the sound guy hasn’t fucked up the mix. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE LINK ME A PERFORMANCE WHERE THE SOUND GUY UNDERSTANDS THEIR SOUND??

[@ZaynMalikluuuver30]

the spotify sessions arent bad lol

i think it’s supposed to be a little different. i don’t think it’s fucked up it sounds amazing

[@adamw1845]

I've seen these guys live in the UK and the gig was only big enough to hold 200-300 people, it was the best gig I've ever been to. So intimate and they sound amazing

[@LedZepUltimateFanPage]

Hooked on this song

[@FecalMattur]

You'll come back to it and get hooked again after you play it out. It's one of those kinds of rare songs you really just can't beat out of your system

[@devriesdana]

@@FecalMattur that is sooooo true because I have worn this song out and i am now coming back for more. Hell, I have played Highly Suspect over and over and over etc. for months and still am playing them like I just heard them yesterday. I am in love.

[@charlesdewars]

got mad love for this band. Whoever mixed the audio for this though needs a smack

[@charlesdewars]

Think you might have mixed confused with mastered. Live gigs or recordings like this are always mixed so each instrument has the appropriate amount of gain/volume compared to all the others. I understand what you mean about that 'live' feel, somehow they have even captured it on the album, but whoever mixed and bounced down the audio for this has done a shite job

[@charlesdewars]

What are you on about you idiot! I never said that the album wasn't mixed before it was mastered. You made the argument that if I wanted the 'mixed' version that I should listen to the album. Live recordings ARE mixed, and this was obviously recorded in studio, via a MIXING desk, you twat. Don't put in your shitty 2 cents when you have no idea what you are talking about!

[@brunofonseca9686]

I second that.

[@blammod664]

I wish I could make my guitar sound that damn amazing...

[@jjmorin09]

its not that hard, the song is really easy

[@soCanadianEH27]

I think he's talking about the actual sound pedals, not the ability to play the song.

[@auzgirg6029]

Blammo D bridge pickup. medium ish gain and a blues driver pedal with high ish drive and tone. that's what I do nd I think it sounds pretty close

[@IncompleteStrangers]

Ive been trying to get a sound like this. I crank a Supro Thunderbolt S6420, with a Blues Driver and an EarthQuaker Dunes. For the reverb pedal he uses in songs like the end of Lost or the beginning/end of Wolf, get either a Mr Black Supermoon or an Earthquaker Afterneath.

What the world of music misses - actual artist.

[@جلال-ه9ع]

Kyle Fricks what constitutes being an “actual artist”?

[@kylefricks2337]

@@جلال-ه9ع a band like these dudes: an actual artist(s) are ppl who get on stage and work as a team of talented MUSICIANS (not ppl behind a computer) making real music. The passion and presentation. What we don't have anymore with the top charts. Falling in Reverse is another great band that has learned to adapt, introduce multiple genres in their songs, and perform on stage and can sound like the album recordings - like Highly Suspect is doing here. *BUDDY*

[@جلال-ه9ع]

Kyle Fricks Well, it seems as though you’re just a boomer. It’s a rather sad sight but all too prevalent these days. Have good one, buddy, hopefully you open your eyes one day 👍.

[@kylefricks2337]

@@جلال-ه9ع Haha boomer bro? Are you blind, or do you just default to saying that to just anyone older than you? I still don't know what you mean by "I hope you open your eyes"

[@جلال-ه9ع]

Kyle Fricks nah, being older does add to being a boomer but I’m mostly saying so for those archaic beliefs you hold as to what real music is. Music made on a computer is just as real as music made by musicians. When I talked about opening your eyes I meant that I hope you expand your musical horizons because they seem to be lacking.

[@theZer0Game]

People talking shit about the sound mix. Ya know, I kinda like this semi-studio mix. It's not all polished up and some of that pure creativity and passion shines through the dirt. This is the recording of the song that I always come back to.

[@Arrica101]

Yea they are complaining because the guitar and vocals drown out everything.

[@anthonyachurra607]

@@Arrica101 I love the live studio mixes. All of the trivium live at Chapman studios are the best of there whole career in my opinion.

[@Crazelord91]

Their recent releases have been try hard trap/pop beats sadly

[@PiggyVanHausen]

@@Crazelord91 I actually don't think it's the case. Not being a fanboy here, but johnny has always been into rap. If you don't believe me just go to highly suspect's youtube page. If you go deep down into their videos there's one that is a rap song made by johnny. The desire has always been there, it's only that now they can allow themselves the risk of releasing that kind of music. No problem if you don't like it, I'm not really into it myself, but one does realize when it's forced and when it's real.

[@officialkadewebb9165]

One of the best bands of all time in my opinion!

Lyrics: Black ocean, cold and dark I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless But the only girl that could talk to him just couldn't swim Tell me what's worse than this And it echoes in the halls They danced along the walls The memories of your ghost You are the one that I used to love And I'm still in love, but I've never loved you the most I've seen better days So unafraid in my youth I can't breathe, much less believe You gave everything you had Every little thing you had A true love unrehearsed I've seen your best and worst And at your worst, you're still the best But at my best, I am the worst It's a curse Your eyes are lined in pain Black tears don't hide in rain And I tied you to the tracks When I turned around, I heard the sound I hit the ground, I know there's no turning back I've seen better days So unafraid in my youth I can't breathe, much less believe the truth Better days, so unafraid in my youth I can't breathe, much less believe the truth Black ocean, cold and dark I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless But the only girl that could talk to him, she couldn't swim Tell me what's worse than this What's worse is all the coke The ice that numbs my throat if only for the night My muscles will contract, your bones will crack It's just a fact 'cause I am here to win this fight I can't fucking breathe, much less believe the truth I pick up a gun, aim for the sun, and shoot Better days, so unafraid in my youth I can't breathe or believe the truth Your eyes are lined in pain Black tears don't hide in rain And I tied you to the tracks When I turned around, I heard that sound

they're a blend of a lot of things. You can hear bands like Sublime (esp in their earlier albums) and blues elements in their work.. among many others. Theyre true music fans without the genre elitism. They have Yung Thug and Gojira featured in the same album.. if that tells you anything.

First time I heard these guys was after searching for decent stations to listen to online(I live in Switzerland) and hooked into ZRock out of L.A. .Heard a lot of great new music I had been out of the loop on but was one song that gave me the worst fucking ear worm,”My Name is Human”, and I’ve never looked back✌️😎😂

His style is ridiculous

[@ryancaugust]

Was this recorded with a microphone outside the basement? Such a shame as the sound is terrible for such a great song

[@FecalMattur]

songwriting at its best. Metaphorically rich. I think that may be the only downside of the song, the majority of the public isn't intelligent to have the comprehension of the depth of this. That and most people have their heads so far up their own asses they can't accept they've ever been the one in the wrong against someone else before. Everyone has fucked someone over before.. especially in a relationship
