TEMPORARY Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 19th, 2021

[americangothic 1,515]

I dislike Jack's minimalistic approach and obssesion with piano ballads and I don't get his overrated status in the industry. However, I truly think Jack's production magnum opus to me is 'Venice Bitch'. I feel like the decision of making it a 9-minute song pushed him out of his 'typical four-chords pop song sound' comfort zone and had to improvise riffs, and come up with loops and changes, to give the song a new dimension. It's not a song with complex changes, they're subtle and cohesive.

 

But I also believe he should stop with this one-man show thingy. It makes his songs sound same-ish. I get it, it's his vibe, but what made Papa Rick Nowels songs to sound different from one another (compare 'Salvatore' to 'Cola') is the fact that Rick had a whole team of musicians who knew how to play multiple instruments other than just piano, mellotron and guitar.

I will never understand how people can say Jack’s piano melodies are less good than other producers’ when the NFR title track exists 

 

Jack is actually a piano virtuoso y’all—maybe I’m wrong but I don’t recall Rick making many piano melodies at all, it was all usually strings not piano overtures like NFR...

Bartender, Summer Bummer, Is this happiness and Change outsold jack is a virtuoso when it comes to three chords maybe

9 DAYS until white dress 30 DAYS until the butterfly emerges from its COCCoon and i still haven't decided if i'm going to listen to white dress ahead of time

I don't care about Jack THAT much either way, but I hope she makes a third record with him just to see the meltdowns

my problem with Jack is that sometimes he botches songs the way that they sound underwhelming like with the guitar solo on The greatest, lack of bass on Cinnamon, the entire underwhelming LMLYLAW or the same boring piano chords all over again. He tends to muffles his instrumentals, where it is trurly unnecessary, or just lack of instruments in general, however I’m holding onto hope that COCC won’t flop since it has a lot of guitars and Jack is definitely better with them than he is with piano 

 

Idk what kind of speakers you're listening to Cinnamon Girl on...but babe that song was mastered just fine. The love child of video games and groupie love. However, I do agree with the other songs mentioned. They do have a muffled quality to them that kinda drains the life from the production. Bring back Both Dans (Heath and Auerbach) plz

what production he muffles everything.  And we r not complaining about Fine china cuz its not even released so why does it matter

Music appreciation is very subjective, and I get why some people would love 'NFR!', but you definitely echo what I think about his sound/production style. For the life of me I don't think I'll ever be able to fully enjoy that album. I hate the way everything sounds muffled, flat, dry, lack bass, has this tinny audio quality and also how the piano is just very basic. Something about his production feels blank, or just lacks sparks.

 

I hope we hear a departure from that sound on 'COCC', but judging from the two singles, it's more or less the same. 'LYMLYLAW' sounds straight out of 'NFR!' and while the title track has an interesting melodie and good vocals (at least different from the half-spoken tone which she sang most of the last album with), it still sounds, for a lack of a better word, flat.
 

The way everyone was raving about the last part of the song, the instrumental outro, as being amazing... Well, duh. That was the only part of the song that we could actually clearly hear full on instruments and that they didn't sound muffled or flat.

i will keep dragging this flop until he finds a job and leaves lana alone

[American Bottom 16,237]

Spoiler

I like the melody and vocals of COCC title track, but I won't lie... the instruments are definitely on the backburner compared to the rest of her discography. I prefer when the vocals and instruments mesh together to create an atmosphere, and based off of what I've heard so far I'm not sure if this album will have that

Idk why yall get a stick up the ass about discussing producers and their styles. Unless Lana drops sumn or opens her mouth to cause controversy, wtf else is there to discuss besides the potential sound of the album we're anticipating 

 

[Nobody 21,298]

well at least she'll get one decent review
