Passion, sure, but come on haha Who has ever said that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the skepticism, but I knew a kid growing up who was obsessed with Travis and said this on multiple occasions.

Neal Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 From a technical standpoint, travis plays terrible. He wastes way too much energy on looking cool and hitting the drums hard. No wonder his hands are a mess, but i guess it's cool having bloodstains all over your drumheads if you're gangster... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Not even close to what i was trying to say but i knew the fanboys would get triggered. I wish ilan would need to cancel tours because of fucked up arms but the coward is just not rock'n'roll enough and discovered a thing called gravity....

Lauren Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Yeah, besides the hi hat thing on We Dont Need To Whisper, the recording engineer on the drums (they recorded at dave grohls studio) ruined the recordings according to Tom Lord Alge. He shows the drum channels and how it sounds, very interesting. He was like obviously mad talking about it and really shat on the one who recorded it. Kind of makes you think about the drum sound in a different way, i’ve always loved the sound. Well, guess thats the magic of TLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if there were ever a qualified judge on deciding what makes someone Rock n' Roll, it's a die hard Blink fan who thinks highly of California and Nine.

Tombomb Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just gotta say, as a new fan (though an old fan of Blink and Boxcar), I have only heard the album I-Empire in full so far (with several other songs from most of the other albums), but I love it! Some songs don't strike me much, but the ones that do are freaking amazing!! I hope there is still some love here for A&A, because I like chatting about it. Edit: Oh yeah, so, my faves (on this album) are; Rite of Spring, Heaven, Secret Crowds, and Everything's Magic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 @Tombomb Yeah I think I like I-Empire the best out of the "old" AVA albums, Secret Crowds is probably my favorite AVA song all time. You have a lot to dig in to, start at WDNTW and ride it all the way through! Btw welcome to the boards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombomb Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Thanks for the welcome @Ry-Bread ! Yeah, it's definitely a great album. But I'm like really into Do it For Me Now these days. I've actually heard a lot of songs by the time I posted that and even more now, but I-Empire is still the only FULL one I've heard. I think either Whisper or maybe Love pt 1 I've gotten super close to finishing. I'm also super stoked for the new album. Hope it comes out this year!!

Awesome stuff, but what surprised me the most is him furious about how badly the drums were recorded and how some channels were unusable. Like room mics, and he couldnt even use the hi hat mic. Maybe thats why the hi hat is room sound only?He said there was like at least 5 drum mics unusable. Hes guessing that an engineer dialed in a sound, then Atom came in and played so loud he probably ruined everything (the dialed in pre amps, and stuff). And he said he HATES how much and loud atom played the hi hat, it was hard to mix because of it, and he would have smashed his hand and told him to stop if he was there hahaha. Never knew that. Bit late to the party but where did you watch the video? I'm always interested to listen and watch things like that. i'm sure there's a video about mixing blink-182's Obvious which has acoustic guitars in it. Never even noticed any acoustic guitar in that track haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really awesome to see all the tracks and sounds you didnt know were there. and yeah the adventure is on nail the mix. I did the trial, watch it, then cancelled my subscription haha. #hackerman 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
