I love the Jack records too but a lot of the production has to do with the fact that Jack used Ludwig supraphonic (aluminum) snares. Matt prefers darker sounding snare drums (copper etc). The snare drum alone can change the whole sound.

Still waiting on pics of trag and strat with their Grammys tho.

Matt's snare drum choice has a LOT more to do with the sound of these drums than some here think

Agreed. Which is why I don't worry about it too much. If the songs and performances are good, I'm stoked. In a perfect world, their production would be flawless. But that ship sailed long ago with them.

Judging a song's production based on a screen recording posted on twitter and then saying how production/sound quality is so important sounds a little funny, I gotta say. That said, we have Dark Matter as a reference and much of what the rockers/heaviers are gonna sound is probably there, as Watt makes very uniform records (sound-wise).

I'm very happy, the band sounds excited, the songs/snippets sound just as authentic as Gigaton/Avocado did and nothing sounds as bad as Avocado/BS/LB (I'd even include the lackluster sound of Riot Act, but that's another can of worms and not decided if it's production or songwriting)

Could there be any aspects of the production being made for dolby atmos that make it sound different on other forms? Serious question, I dont know anything about this but Dark Matter on Atmos sounds alot different from the normal version.

Can anybody give a light on this?

I agree that the Atmos version is how this album is going to be truly meant to be heard. Josh Evans is supposed to be part of that. Dark Matter is a different animal in Atmos vs the standard version. The production sounds so much better.
