That little yelp during I Am Mine was the most excitement he’d allow himself on the whole album.oneway23 wrote:RA is probably a highlight in their catalog, production wise.

Are there not pages and pages of "getting lost in the weeds" over the vocals, the lyrics, the guitars, drums...etc...?RockPusher wrote:I love critical discussion. I just think there's a "getting lost in the weeds" aspect to pages and pages about some technical aspect that many of us a) can't hear and/or b) don't really care about as much. That's what Steve Hoffman forums are for, right?

I still remember the original board during the Avocado days. The first thing I said when we heard the pre-master leak with the extended "Life Wasted" outro was that Boom had gotten baked, snuck into the studio, and secretly replaced all of Matt's drums with cardboard boxes and his cymbals with cellophane. Fooking tragedy.stip wrote:yeah, it wasnt the production. just fondly remembering album launches past
He kind of does a couple times in Dark Matter. Of course, so does Homer in the Jorge version.Birds in Hell wrote:Desperately need Ed to bring this vibe back.
