Dominic. Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 In my mind the awesome (but perhaps not quite so on the studio version): Supremacy Animals Isolated System Survival, purely because have you seen the Koln live video? Dat outro the good: Liquid state Panic Station (fuck yeah bass chords) Follow Me Unsustainable the meh: Big Freeze Madness, despite the doubleneck bass/kitara live the bad: Explorers Fix'd To be honest I dunno if I'm missing any out even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Big Freeze isn't awful. Explorers, maybe but even then... None of the 'bad' tracks make me want to throw the TV out of my hotel room, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The Big Freeze chorus just sounds good. Is meh overall though in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well you said something along the lines that a slow song fits the end of albums perfectly, then say albums aren't like setlists, implying that slow songs can't finish setlists, hence my post. Your whole post confused me I'm of the opinion that a set list should end with a fast/heavy/rocky song but an album should end with a song calming song. A concert is an event and you should leave with your heart pumping where as an album is like a story and I find slow calming songs give an album a true sense of completion. I never said slow songs can't finish set-lists but I enjoy concerts with heavy closers better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexical_Whale Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Might just be the copy I'm listening to freaking out but can anyone else hear a really nasty edit point on the vocal of 'Save Me'? Around 1:10-1:11 between the words 'in' and 'denial'. It's really jumping out at me now and it's a real shame because it just makes it sound even more like they couldn't be bothered with the production through a lot of that track. Bit of a let down when the live version seems so raw and honest and this sounds like it's still a demo a fair bit of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's less noticeable one my rip but it now you mention it I can here that. I think it's due to the fuck load of reverb plastered over it...

cheddatom Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I will, i will. I actually don't have any time at the moment. I'm playing in 4 bands, recording 2 CDs, mastering one, working full time... I'm not complaining, I like to be busy, just saying I'd like to listen to Muse just never get chance.

james90 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 so is this new creepjoint album actually finished? i want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Well, it was finished, but the other guys (and to be fair they're right) don't like the latest master. I've done another 2 masters, so just waiting until we get together on Sunday to chose the final version We're going to release it online for free, but the actual format isn't finalised yet, hence the completion but no release. Glad you're interested though, check out the album sampler (on facebook) and I will of course spam the entire board when it's finally released (3 weeks at the most I think).

JimboMansonMB-1 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yo Phill, iPhone 5 should be here later today - I'll let you know what I think of it (and the new earbuds) once I've spent a few hours with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I am actually interested in the earbuds, like I'm not gonna get them, love my shures, but interested as to whether they're actually decent now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 well like I say it's free download so fill your boots! The title is "the all important lie detector test" and hopefully there will be some sort of online test you have to pass to access extra stuff. You'll still be able to print out artwork to make a real CD He hasn't changed his set-up, no, but hopefully i've got a little better at guitar sounds (not sure thb). It's a H&K Warp 7 head through matching 4x12". His main guitars are MIM Tele and Washburn P3. His main sound is the distortion channel, gain dialled right the way back (almost off) and a boss EQ set to fuck knows what. He has some weird EQ settings! I do love the sound but I'm getting a bit sick of the H&K, it's so difficult to tame. What bass are you getting? If you have a weak sound it's probably more to do with the amp setup, but obviously you can get totally different sounds from a different bass.

matthijs Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Perhaps you could check out the Vintage Modified Jazz basses, they're pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'd personally recommend the squier vintage modified jaguar bass or an Ibanez SR. Good feel, sound and quality for cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I guess it's depending on what James is going to use it for. Imho the Jaguar or SR basses don't have the general use a jazz bass has. I'm more of a JM-person, which means my Precision/Rickenbacker will probably be for sale soon. The Jazz bass is suitable for a more general style than any other bass I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 i was thinking of getting this one http://www.fender.com/products/vintage-modified-jazz-bass-70s the part about 'soft maple' scares me though. isn't maple usually a dense wood? and also, check this out Jim...dumble price list and "secrecy agreement" from the early 90's. my favorite parts are about the "analization" and the $50,000 fee if you copy his circuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord MFC Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I've been gasing for this for a while... kinda thinking about becoming a bassist on the side as I've kinda joined a band as a bassist and the bass teacher at college said I was really really good http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Squier-by-Fender-Vintage-Modified-Jazz-Bass-Rosewood-FB-Sunburst/EXJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
