Bad Mixes
|
|
Since I've become more and more unsurprised by the music itself, I only have the sound to talk about. And since exploring new releases always comes with its share of curiosities, and that it's interesting to delve into what is subjectively or objectively a bad mixn here is my monster collection, starting 2025.

Esophagus - Zero One
(brutal death slam worldwide) The master's spectrum is totally butchered, too much subs, but still an impression of thinness with almost no lows or mids, while the snare and overheads are agressively saturating and sizzling. You can even hear the master duck or distort on some transients. The worst is that my ears get used to it :( please dont. The snare is terrible, really muddy and not impactful, sounds like a bongo. I think there's a bass guitar but it's hard to tell. I think the side channel is louder than mid. It sounds like the work of an amateur, those you'd find on threads titled "rate my first mix plz", not something I expect to find on youtube. Well my rate : 0/5 not listenable sizzling highs. - it's interesting that in the comments only two people share my thoughts, others are enjoying it... |

BioNKill - They Must Die
(thrash) I'm bothered by the overheads, overpresent and aliased. On some takes, the vocals have a high airy ringing. The rest is correct 2/5 |

Acid Cross - Under Dark
(thrash blackened speed) This is obviously aiming to sound raw, so despite the dirtiness I have nothing to complain about. I'm just here to point out that on track #3 the instruments are not playing in sync, resulting in a complete rythmic failure. They should have checked. 3/5 for general grade. |

Piss On Christ - Seventh Blasphemous Slab
(death) Once again a high-end optimized mix, with modern production. Well it's compressed and flat. The guitars have a funny sound but end up being a fatiguing wall of noise, ringing in high mids. The bass guitar got sucked out. These things are industry standard by now, but tipically something I don't want to listen to. 3/5. |
