RayFan9876 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think the production's pretty good, though I think Absolution could do with a job that brings out a bit more oomph in the guitar, rawer than the original mix. I reckon Origin has a better sound overall, while their subsequent stuff is just a little to slick. In terms of sound, I'm quite glad Muse didn't go with Rick Rubin as a producer for The Resistance, seeing as I've found the sound of quite a lot of things he's produced lately a bit "flat" or "colourless". A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park being a good example- I thought the album was pretty good, but I felt that on tracks like "Blackout" and "Wretches and Kings" the guitars and distorted synths lacked impact. Same problem with "The Subliminal Verses" - I don't think it's possible to completely take the edge off Jim Root and Mick Thompson's guitar playing, but certainly the guitars don't create the monstrous walls of noise that you get on their previous and subsequent work. Maybe they should get Robinson to produce the new album? Contentious I know, but what are anyone's views on that? Here's an opportunity I have where I can promote BH&R: Its production quality might not be great, but boy does it have an intense feel. That was not lost in the slightest.

matthijs Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just listen to Bliss and compare it with nearly anything Muse have done since. It sounds so bright and spacious . I soundcheck my systems with Bliss. Fuck this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I soundcheck my systems with Bliss. Fuck this thread. I usually go with Dark Side Of The Moon and something electronic and bass heavy, which is this these days - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q80t7qC7GdY Any particular reason for using Bliss?

Alec Ferris Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 You sir are an incompetent nut. Off with you. Couldn't have put it better. It could do with some more muscle in the mix, though I'd say that for all three albums post-Origin. I'd like the new album to have a harsher mix, perhaps like that on Unknown Pleasures- have Chris' bass a bit deeper but still prominent in the mix.

Veracity Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I can't believe I'm reading half of these comments! Origin of Symmetry has a raw power that some much modern music is lacking! My group Veracity has used this album as our "bible" while recording simply because it has so much to offer! Check us out if you like OoS!! http://www.youtube.com/VeracityMusic1 http://www.facebook.com/VeracityMusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The studio of New Born is a bit lame tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoman297 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 OoS will never be as bad as BHaR I have listened to a B quality live version of Exo-Politics and it sounded way better than what got on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysticism Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO! OoS is great! I do however agree that the production is less than their last 3 albums, but who cares, it still sounds better than pretty much everything these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysticism Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Which songs on OOS do you think have bad production? They're not bad., I never said that... But if you listen to songs on The Resistance, you can just hear that it's more produced on these days' standards, more perfect, mistakes digitally removed, every instrument more clear, things like that... OoS has that less, and I prefer that, but I agree that the production is 'less' in a way.. Better but less.. how weird.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't referring to The Resistance though, I was on about how you think some songs on BHAR are better produced than some on OOS which I found odd because BHAR is horribly produced while OOS doesn't have a single badly produced song on it so I was wondering what made you think that.

Now I think of it.. yeah you're right, I think Starlight is an exception, But with OoS you can hear that the bass, and drums aren't right in your ears, as they are in TR and probably the new album based on Survival, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysticism Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The bass and drums sound great to me, what are you listening to the album through? I listen both TR + Survival and OoS through the same earphones (Sennheisser extra bass) so I think I can surely make the comparison... And I will say this one more time... I don't think they are bad, I never said I think they are bad, and I will never say that they are bad, because I think they aren't.. I'm just saying, I think some songs on their later albums, and pretty much all songs on TR and Survival sound better (production) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
