Yeah, I'm stuck in endless buffering. I'm guessing the filters are hard at work.

I still prefer the very first version of the Ornament, back when it was the "outro."

QFT. They really took it in an unfortunate direction (for me).

I was kind of hoping it was just a bad spot to sample, but since you've heard the whole thing....

It has its moments. I just think the original one was rather perfect, and always enjoyed that aspect of the show.

Not gonna listen to the amazon clips but I like this version of Upon Returning better than the live version. Can't wait to hear Down Without A Fight in its entirety.

I edited it and put the direct link in. Not sure what you're getting at.

I loved the live version of Upon Returning and after a couple of listens I hate what Dan did to it. The live version flows way better. Is it just more or does the sound quality sound awful? It seems to me that there was some potential here that got rushed a bit too much... So far my opinion is that Dan completely raped dredg!

The mp3 is a VBR at 191kps. I think it's just the production that's making you think it sounds awful.

Wow, this really is terrible. It just sounds busy and overly gainy. The production on this song is utterly garbage. I hope this is the last time they work with him. I'm starting to feel like this album is going to be dredg's Hold Your Fire.

No, you're right. I actually had decent hopes for this one (unlike most of the rest of the album, judging by recent reviews and descriptions), and the studio version just doesn't take it in the direction I'd expected/hoped based on the live performances. Blah.

It'll be Hold Your Fire comparable if the video for TTOLY is as corny as Time Stand Still.

Me too. It's stuck in my head for three days now. Hope the album will ship to Croatia, as I can see it does not to all of the European Union countries, which is odd.

Re: Album Discussion: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

I still can't get past the crap I can only describe as guitar tone in the verses on Upon Returning. Eww. It sounds like it was recorded through a DI and they tried to fake tone through effects. Just sounds like total shit. The bridge is the only part of the song that sounds worth a damn.

Re: Album Discussion: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

Wow. The live version of Upon Returning is way better. The bridge in the live version was really powerful and here it is just really subdued - I like how Mark's guitar wailed during that part. And it seems like this quality is really bad. I hope it sounds better on the album.
