The Dark makes me think of Jane Fonda doing aerobics BUT IN THE BEST WAY
this is the 90s sitcom theme that The Fixer was trying to be!

The Haves

OK so I'm not a huge audiophile but,
do you think this kind of "flat" production that lacks depth and dynamics is meant to (whether or not it actually does) sound good for The Kids on their phones? I just wonder because I'm listening to it now that way and I feel like I can hear much of the sonic range, even without headphones
I feel absolutely certain of this.

This is the song from this album that will go down as the "classic."

The Haves would come off so much better if it was 3 minutes instead of a 5 minute epic

RoJ is not my favourite rocker but it still slaps

actually the best part is the boogie-woogie "Alive" jam, what a great callback

I've had this thought, too, particularly when I'm listening to Good & Evil through headphones but feel like it might as well be playing on my phone.

Yeah, I think the production/mixing/mastering is certainly geared in the direction of modern rock (it's not too drastic a progression from how S/T was mastered). I just think it neuters the heavy songs.

I don't believe for a moment there's any intentional callback to Alive in that piano outro.
It's just Elton mashing some bluesy noodles.
