  1. Thanks
    reminiscing2004 reacted to Arkady in Holy shit, why are vk fans so delusional about their favorite musicians' habilities?   
    Do you mean like all the other musicians' fanbases (western and not)?!
    If I had a dollar for every YT comment unironically declaring a mediocre singer/player being "the best" or "a better singer than *insert technically superior singer*" I would be able to buy Bezos entire ass by now.

    You guys are right,I really appreciated your thoughts on it.
    I'm used to get "strength" from all these things I've collected and spent my time with since years. 
    And recently I've been expecting to get the same strength (the reason I'm so into MH)  but it didn't work. Im always feeling Unfulfilled. Since I started my adult life,I'm feeling incredible oppressed,cuz I've screwed everything up and I'm not the young-adult I thought I'd be.

    SSTB and IKSSE are two of my favorite albums ever. I wish the newer records didn't have as much of a relatively-"produced"/clean sound as they do, but their formula is great. Also an amazing live band

    I think they are of a pretty high "Legend Status", so to speak, at least based on their success in Japan. They probably get a little less praise then you'd proportionally expect in the western fan world.
     
    Every time I revisit Nightmare, I'm impressed at how good a lot of their songwriting is. Particularly, from like 2004-2008 I find, every album is full of really dense, but easy to listen to, tunes. I listened to Killer Show for the first time in ages a few days ago and I was amazed how much of a melodic contribution the bass was. Great bass lines and total earworm guitar solos on every track, it's crazy. Only thing that got a little annoying was how formulaic every track felt on that album, but you've got an album like anima, in contrast, which is full of some really varied and progressive tracks.

    DUDE. I literally was about to say "sounds like every undercode release ever".
     
    basically, a lot of UCP releases, 12012's early stuff is a perfect example is mastered LOUD AS SHIT. in addition to it being really really really compressed, the frequency spectrum of those songs has a lot of information in the 2-5khz area which is the most sensitive area to our human hearing. a little too much resonance at 2500khz is a whoooole lot more annoying and sometimes literally painful than too much resonance at say 250hz. im sure you can find lots of information about this online, if you search "loudness war" "listening fatigue".
     
    as abrasive as it is, It's kind of part of the early 12012 sound to me hehe

    reminiscing2004 got a reaction from colorful人生 in That indies sound, that very one. We don't have it anymore.   
    access to recording equipment and daw's has totally changed the game. i think so much of the 'old indie' sound has credit due to the last era of straightforward recording techniques, before drum triggers, melodyne, and softsynths became the new staples of record production.
     
    it hurts the most when i hear a new band who's got something interesting going on creatively, but its packaged in this gloss of fake drums, self-recorded and surgeon-ed production. atleast the cheap recordings of decades before had an essence of life and passion to them. maybe thats hopeless nostalgia....
