radioactive tomdog Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 i don't dislike the way the album sounds but it would sound so much better if tom lord alge mixed the whole thing. the two single versions he did are mindblowingly different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Dude Ranch sounds just like it should to me. The single mixes are pretty meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single mixes are pretty meh. i'd go the other way. the single mixes were the work of tom lord-alge and are, like all his punk work, stellar. i prefer the "dammit" single version because, like the music video, it features scott's intro snare roll which was edited off the album version. but i'd take points off the "josie" single because it's a radio edit which trims the instrumental parts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always view that EP as part of Futures because the demo session that leaked of Futures (not the demo sessions included with the Deluxe version of the album) included those songs as well. To me, Futures and Stay On My Side Tonight are collectively my favorite release of theirs, with Clarity being a close second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I would only really appreciate demo version of Dude Ranch song if they were complete alternate takes. I want to hear Dude Ranch mixed with Cheshire or Uranus styling. If they are just sloppier versions of Dude Ranch then I don't really have much interest in them at all, I'd rather just a remaster of Dude Ranch.
