What’s a popular/well known song that you think was poorly mixed?

I'll say five things

  1. Yeah

  2. FUCK yeah

  3. They fucked up already by overdriving the bass in tracking, but the bootleg on Youtube that enlightened me to that fact it was overdriven DOES lean towards sounding better

  4. It is what it is and I love it for it's lack of bass the same way I love a 1982 thrash album for it's close non-powered mic flappy drumming.

  5. C'MON METALLICA AT THIS POINT YOUR GREATEST QUALITY IS THAT YOU'RE BETTER MUSICIANS NOW, AND YOU FUCKING TRIED TO "DEATH MAGNETIC" US SO FUCKING RE-RECORD JUSTICE (personal nuance, if you have Lars' drum tracks, build on that, the shitty timing is great on that album) WITH JASON WHO MIGHT BE WILLING AND WE'RE ALL COOL FOREVER!!!!!
