CD ReviewsGreat songs, horrible production J. Lenglet | 08/30/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "The headstones were a pretty good band and frontman Hugh Dillon always had a unique presence. Now out on his own with a new band Hugh is sounding great and his songs are thoughtful and rich as always. Hugh has lightened up a bit in his anger or perhaps it would be more accurate to saw he's being more honest and not shooting for the anger thing. Whatever the case the lyrics are many cuts above the average rock fare. The music is catchy and theres plenty of hooks. I find its not predicable and the melodies quite musical. No one is showboating and the band seems to ignore the standard arragements and cliches. Basically it all works.
The negatives is all to do with production. The mix isnt good. Vocal and bass are WAY louder then everything else. The bass is so heavy that its just plain annoying to listen to and hard to EQ. This is a shame as theres nothin worse then having an album with great tunes that you cant stand to listen to due to poor mixing. The bass howls thru the speakers in a bad way and turning down the frequency makes the album sound very small. I've tried it on 3 stereos and it just doesnt work. The Bass is way to loud and the guitars sound very thin. Hugh's voice sounds good but its also pretty darn loud. Too bad, this likely wont get the airplay it deserves due to the bad production." |
