Pendulum would sound so much better. That song really needs some air.

yeah, they would sound better for sure.

I hate LB´sound more now...the way he mixed Ed´s vocals, the tone guitars, the space, the brightness of it.

Yep, it was a once-per-year listen anyway, but Gigaton renders it unlistenable.

Yellow Moon's closed off atmosphere works well for the way the song is structured - if it opened up it would turn into a different song (which would be okay).

I mean, every song would be improved, but Pendulum and Swallowed Whole in particular jump out as being songs that need more space to breathe.

nah those songs would still suck

Except Swallowed Whole, the only LB song that doesn't suck.

i would love to hear YM and Pendulum produced by Josh, even if those two are my favs from LB.

Agreed, I'm not interested in hearing remixes of those songs either.

It's pretty obvious that Brendan "arranged" the life out of any interesting material the band brought to the sessions for the previous two records, I'd only be interested in going back to hear the demos of what the band had originally brought in (like Matt's "Need to Know" demo.)

SW still needs to breathe. There needs some space between transitions. It’s too choked.
