Kay Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I'd get doing a remaster like 20 odd years on for a record that was done on tape but re-recording an album ten years later is kinda dumb. ten years is fuck all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 The way Matt sings his final "what's my age again" at the end of the last chorus sounds so fucking good in this. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Unwritten Law put out a greatest hits album they rerecorded every song on it instead of just releasing a compilation of the old versions. I think that kind of thing is cool. I fucking love those versions of those songs. Listen to them more then the originals. Im not a huge Unwritten Law fan so that’s probably right. If I remember right @Ari, as a huge UL fan hates them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a huge Unwritten Law fan so that’s probably right. If I remember right @Ari, as a huge UL fan hates them Wow, yeah man - it's weird for me. That UL greatest hits album really taught me that I'm not a fan of that sort of thing. My favorite song by them is Shallow, and I thought another, even better recorded version of that song would be like a dream come true, but it didn't have the same affect on me as the previous versions. Was a strange feeling. I know they re-recorded their singles because they had no choice, but even if I'm not typically a fan of re-recorded songs, I really respect the idea of that approach. It seems like a challenge/risk that deserves a bit of recognition . But maybe I feel different now. Gonna listen to the UL greatest hits album now.

I guess it just depends on how you first fall in love with the songs. My first introduction to unwritten law was the acoustic album mentioned above so I loved shallow and the rest before I had even heard the originals so when I heard the re-recordings it didn’t bother me at all.

Social Distortion did this for their Greatest Hits as well. I'm not a fan. Like Ari mentioned about UL's...doesn't have the same effect for some reason.

Hit me up Jans ex Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Just now, thongrider said: Wait. What? Yea, they did for at least some of their biggest songs. I read it was for legal purposes and to be able to own the songs. I could barely tell though, they recorded it so well and close to the original that most people probably will never notice.

Yea, I'm pretty sure that was intentional and I could barely tell myself. Something sounded a little different on Story of My Life to me so I checked it out. Apparently Story of My Life, Ball and Chain, Ring of Fire, Bad Luck, When The Angels Sing, and I Was Wrong were all re-recorded. Glad to see another Social D fan on this board!

Russel Coight Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Blink should do a ‘damnesia’ type record. Acoustic Reimagining's of the old songs in a new style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I thought it was weird too, guess it makes sense if it means you can own the songs for the Greatest Hits record and not have to pay an old record label.

No need to for him to butcher an acoustic version on record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
