I'd be truly shocked if they were using amp pedals (to achieve OD) and not going through actual tube amps. Maybe something with their signal chains using Wottman's equipment so that it sounds vastly different?

I really think you're hearing what was done in production/engineering/mixing and not recording.

In any event, it's nice to actually hear distorted guitars in a PJ song. First time since what, ST? I grew real tired of the bluesy crunch (and in some cases I could barely detect any semblance of overdrive). I mean, are there even guitars in Infallible? Sounds like a bunch of synths.

Idk man — I know the sound of tube gain distortion vs digital simulated distortion. There’s a synthetic quality to the consistency of breakup that happens with sims, and that’s fairly apparent on these.

That acoustic guitar in SW? jesus christ

Watt if they used an electronic drum kit?

Watt if the whole album is AI? maybe this is their "best work" because none of them had to show up

maybe they're dead

RIP

a) that may be the thing I like most in the song

b) it is so absolutely authentic Mike with the way the notes are being played

c) what even is “typical”? Mike’s best solos are unexpected in some way. This one lets you know immediately with that screeeeeetch that comes out of the drum fill that it’s gonna rip
