[@xavkoston16]

@@Mr.Marbles Same for me, need a little time to get used to that distorded production but i like it. And the good thing about this mix is ... you have to listen LOUD to get 100% of the real sound !

[@bohunky01]

I thought the same thing with Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats last album. I guess it's the 'new' thing. I hated it at first, but after many listens, purchased it.

[@Mr.Marbles]

@@bohunky01 its the new thing for like 10 years now :D at least in other genres.

[@Pallomember]

Everyone's real pissy about the mix. Reminds me of Mastodon's remission but it's probably a hats off towards 90's stoner rock. It's rough, unforgiving and the bass is absolute balls

[@DaarthPingas]

the mix is fine but the master is weird. like qotsa's era vulgaris, it's kinda polarizing. i thought that the mixing was just for the music video [rabbits in hives] as a gimmick of them being buried 6 feet underground, but i guess that's just the vibe i guess. tbh all it'd take is a little bit of treble crank for me to love it but that's just on first listen. it sounds like there's a tube low-pass filter over everything, or the entire mix was passed through a tube amp with speakers. listening through the album though, my ears have adjusted to it, but i'm particular to treble so it's still a little off-putting.

[@keithbarlow9701]

The mix is a bit unexpected and experimental, and honestly it's kind of a risky choice to make. However, I have been enjoying it. I like the fuzzy overly distorted bass too, kvlt as fuck 🤣

[@bobdole7451]

A pint o´ Pabst and a brick of mexican schwag, leave it or take it

[@andyberesky4425]

This is the first album of theirs that I've actually liked. Dark, noisy, abrasive, both discordant and melodic at times. Big Melvins influence, far more daring and experimental, they're not afraid to take chances rather than pumping out "stoner-by-numbers". Liking the gritty production, the rawness adds a lot for me in terms of immediacy. First album of theirs that's been a keeper for me. Keep 'em coming like this.

[@xavkoston16]

I like how the mix is the complete opposite of today's standard sounding. It's warm, ugly, not overly processed at all, but it has balls and personnality !

[@berry.morgan]

Exactly. Craft and production values have ruined music. Give me the warts and all.

[@wazzupbeercommercial]

I've been thinking about this recently while listening to music that is just lacking personality. I am really enjoying coming at it from a different perspective that it's unique and not wrong.

[@bluesfortheredsun]

after multiple listens: THIS IS THEIR BEST ALBUM EVER! the sound is perfect, suits the music and makes me long for the golden age of alternative rock. the sound of the bass guitar on this record is insane! HAILS!!!!

[@albatrossoverdrive]

I feel thats what people are trippin on. I fell like the bass is the main distortion on this record and the guitars are kind of tucked back more. Drums are more roomy sounding.

[@melchizedekful]

After multiple listenings, no this is by far NOT their best album. Anyway time will tell. Come back to here in 2023 and you will see this album would not age well. Utter disappointment.

[@adrianoa.j.5788]

@@melchizedekful only ghosts remains the worst anyways

[@solosolipsist]

@@melchizedekful It's 2023, and I'm here to say this album actually aged great! I was initially put off by mastering sounding like they're playing inside a cardboard box. But after coming back to it recently, I LOVE it! It's grimy af and fits the vibe perfectly. It doesn't sound like anything else out there. As another commenter pointed out, the *mix* is actually quite good -- you've just gotta embrace the aesthetic!

[@kryptonian5539]

[@TheMsBELIEf]

Everyone's flaming about the mix, but honestly I really like it. I'm not a fan of the super clean sound most bands use now and I love the dirty punk and grunge vibes. Also the melodies are really catchy and this album set the perfect athmosphere for finishing my book. Kind of apocalyptic but melancholic.

[@Tsotha]

I have no problem with the mix either, then again I like a lot of raw bedroom black metal that sounds like it was recorded in a shack on the Siberian taiga

[@danasparks6051]

Sabotage when mastered. Hope they find who knows wtf music actually sounds like when "release ready" on the next album. To good of a band to have a pro master show such a lack of pride in their work. Relapse should have their boot in the ass of whoever let the intern master this!!! The music still is captivatingly hypnotic and the best of fangs work yet. Truly talented creators of a masterpiece this time !!!!

If anyone is questioning the production value of this album by listening to this youtube version alone, you should buy the official album and hear the difference in quality.

Convinced me to buy my tickets or this october.

I have this digitally and on cd and vinyl. The production isn't that great. Especially compared to their previous albums. Unreal Estate sounds like it was recorded on someone's phone.

Das ist so lächerlich was hier so geschrieben steht über Ästhetik und all der seltsame Stuff. Ein Künstler hat niemenden außer sich selbst zu Befriedigen und wenn das ein 96er upload ist odr 128k drauf geschissen. KAUFEN.
