OpenMinded Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Well at least it didn't have the resistance in there and Black holes was lower than abso and origin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lih Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I don't mind Absolution's production, it's certainly not as bad as BH&R's. It doesn't flow as an album, but I can manage to listen to it the whole way through though. OoS's first seven tracks flow brilliantly and then it just falls apart.

futurellama Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I don't mind Absolution's production I can't stand it personally. BHaR isn't much better but at least the songs on BHaR are generally worth putting up with the awfulness of the production for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mastering destroys it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mastering destroys it though. So many posters are criticising the production on Abso I was wondering what I was missing. What would you say was rushed and what's the problem with the mastering (you seem to know a lot more about these things that I do). I wouldn't describe Abso as clinical at all. The Resistance is, definitely, bit not Abso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you say was rushed and what's the problem with the mastering (you seem to know a lot more about these things that I do). I'm not going into production, as it's too much to go into. With mastering, they squashed the life out of the dynamics, which makes it sound lifeless and when listening to it loud (Preferably through decent speakers), it doesn't hit you right. Once in a studio, stuck on a couple of Muse songs from Absolution & OOS and although the numbers says that Absolution is "louder" than OOS, songs from OOS had more punch and sounded louder.

It's just annoying. Are. And. Everyone. These are not difficult words to type... Lol, +1. Huge bugbear of mine! As for Abso, I'm kinda grateful that I don't have the musical ear or knowledge to pick up on the 'lodness'/'dynamics' issue - when I hear it, it sounds fine. I mostly listen through headphones anyway, so don't end up having a problem with the way it sounds. OoS does sound like it's better quality, but I'm biased to that album anyways, lol. It should be MUCH higher up in that list. Some of the albums they've mentioned are just meh, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentlegen. Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The songs on Absolution don't really...blend for me (Nice, cheesy love song (Endlessly), followed by a dark, brooding song about how you're insignificant (Ruled by Secrecy)? Maybe I'm just an uncultured swine). Intro+Apocalypse are the only ones really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riveon Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 The flow always seems to get 'iffy' towards the end of Muse's albums. I consider the flow of the Resistance to be one of that album's strongest points. Although many criticise how it jumps from genres throughout the album (to be fair, they have a good point), for me, the album doesn't seem to lose its focus towards the end. I can listen to the whole album with ease, whereas towards the end of OOS, Absolution and BH&R, the flow seems a bit disjointed to me. Pity the majority of the songs on TR aren't as good as in their other albums then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ami34 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I think BH&R is the most disjointed in terms of the flow . I agree with TR being a album that flows very well. In terms of a whole album, I prefer it to BH&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
