Yeah this would be my worry too. I kinda had the same opinion of After Midnight when that was first released. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. At the time, I was kinda expecting a more stadium rock vibe that was there when they played it live but it turns out Tom was improvising on his guitar and the actual song sounded a bit more generic. I still love the song though haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would be almost guaranteed to disappoint. May have worked if they did it back in that time period, but too late now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody working on the album seem to be in completely different mindsets as to the progress of the album.

Everybody working on the album seem to be in completely different mindsets as to the progress of the album. Yeah I don't really know what to think either. I think Aaron Rubin posted a photo of a song being mixed and said the next single is 'imminent,' Travis posted what could be a tracklist idea then also tweeted that a former BCR idea made it onto the album, then Tom posted that pic of Mark still recording bass... Kinda confusing but I think those are the most recent updates. Back in the day they would have to be DONE tracking everything before they could send it off to be mixed and mastered, but nowadays it's easier to keep tweaking all the way up to the last second. So I assume they're prettyyy close to wrapping it all up, even if they're still going back in and trying out different bass parts for a certain song or whatever. The injury/cancellations fucked up the vibes pretty bad but the studio stuff still has me excited... It's pretty clear that they haven't worked this hard or this closely since Untitled. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom's bridge/solo riff was awesome on the live video that got passed around at that time, then the album version turned out to be a lot more plain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tone of the guitar in the bridge was very close to that of the Untitled tour. Too bad that in the album version the guitar is too low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invaluable Nonbinosaur Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Tbf, Mark could’ve just been pissing about on the bass inbetween listening back to tracks during the sequencing process. Like, him holding a bass in the studio doesn’t mean he’s only now tracking bass parts. Thats me being wishful thinkingy, probably, but musicians noodle while chatting all the time lol 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly and Mark picked up a bass when they were talking about putting the boxcar racer song on the album because he felt awkward and didn’t know what to do with his hands. It all makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis will make sure his master is respected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
