highballers, I bloody LOVE that track, so does my fiance. We hadn't heard it before. I got her into synthwave, too, recently, but constantly playing it on roadtrips along the Japanese highways on the way to more natural settings. Catpocalypse, Yeah I see what you mean, it definitely has a similar vibe, especially in the intro. Going to share one of my all time favourite classic tracks: I grew up listening to Judas Priest and Scorpions.

MetalRenard , Ram It Down is a super underrated album. It's almost as good as Painkiller. Definitely a classic.

Catpocalypse, Good find, Griffin is fantastic, their second album improves quite a bit over the first one, check it out once you're done with Flight of the Griffin! MetalRenard, aha, the Pretty Maids, admittedly I haven't listened to them as much as I should, but I';; make sure to check 'em out soon. If you got any suggestions based on my taste, I'd love to listen to you talk about those records. Anyway, recently I've actually been listening to Headcrasher's Nothing Will Remian, it's pretty good tech thrash from late 80's Italy, I've heard the second album is even better but at the moment I'd like to have fun with the debut. Here's a song from the debut

The deeper you get into the production side of music, the less you will get to "enjoy" music... true story.
As you develop your critical listening skills, your intake (and sonic criticism) of music will migrate from the right hemisphere of your brain (the fun/creative bits) to the left side (your logical/boring bits).
You will start analyzing everything you hear, instead of just banging your head to anything and everything.
It takes one HELUVA musical piece to break the trance of an Audio Engineer.

>The deeper you get into the production side of music, the less you will get to "enjoy" music... true story. daveyh, Holy motherfucking shit dude thank you so fucking much for putting into words what I've been feeling lately and why I can't enjoy all those old black metal records I used to. The atmosphere is gone, the feeling is gone, overanalization creeps in and I can't fucking dig it anymore man. It pisses me off, I wish I could have fun with music again ;_; |

Rather than enjoying music less, I feel I can actually enjoy it more now I can really understand and hear what's going on. I recognise that I analyse music a TON now, my fiance says to me all the time "wow, I didn't even hear that," when we discuss music but I had to explain this to her too.
Understanding art doesn't make it less beautiful, it actually opens you up to a deeper understanding. Production (mixing, mastering) is also an artform. Anyone who says it's pure technique doesn't understand either.
You're making artisitic choices based on choice and experience, you're injecting your own tastes into the recording. It's art.
I enjoy the art of production as much as I enjoy the art of composition and recording. So... Don't let it piss you off! Realise that you have now unlocked a new, deeper understanding of the artform we all love.
The words in a poem are meaninless to someone who doesn't understand the language but they can appreciate the rhythm and rime. To a native speaker, they appreciate that too, but also the connotation and style of the words and intonation.

MetalRenard, Good morning from The Great White North! I hear what you're saying about having a deeper understanding, appreciation and all that. My point is that, after you dive into audio engineering it's like learning how a magician does his tricks... It changes you forever. You see what I am saying? Anyways, check out Rick Beato's series on "What makes this song great" on YouTube. If you appreciate all the subtleties that goes into a song's production, you will LOVE  this series.

mercyfuldeath, To be honest, I haven't listened to much thrash metal outside the big four. Sick track though. I should definitely check out some more of this in the future. The deeper you get into the production side of music, the less you will get to "enjoy" music... true story. As you develop your critical listening skills, your intake (and sonic criticism) of music will migrate from the right hemisphere of your brain (the fun/creative bits) to the left side (your logical/boring bits). You will start analyzing everything you hear, instead of just banging your head to anything and everything. It takes one HELUVA musical piece to break the trance of an Audio Engineer. I totally feel you. It's kinda the same with playing guitar. I'm just not as impressed with fast solos and epic riffs the same way I used to be ever since I learned how to do them myself. What helps though is when listening to old tracks, I try to remember what my first experience with the song was like. It gives me nostalgia and helps bring some of that fire back. Anyways, figured I'd post another great song for y'all:
