Dude, IMO, there is a difference between "playing it loud" and 'leaving it loud". And DM was left to be loud, and just that. Clipping is so obvious in all the songs.
Hmmm thinking about it, that's a good point... I agree. I wonder if this is terribly important to all of those here singing praises for DM though.
And I meant to say mixing dun sa AJFA comment...
I was pretty hammered last night.
Goes to show that in the final analysis, it's not overly critical listening that decides the place of an album in history, but the emotional resonance of the album as a suite of songs. Tunog lata yung drums sa AJFA for example, and I don't know if that was intended, but it's still a hard hitter anyhow.
