Music For the Masses

but weird production on the vocals... like he's singing karaoke over the top of a backing track.

It's two different vocalists They used vocal samples that their old drummer recorded as backing vocals for a lot of songs as a tribute to him.

Some of the other songs feature more creative drum beats but again, they're all based on beats their old drummer wrote before he died. If you get the time, try listening to Almost Easy or Beast and the Harlot by A7X. They really show off how good their drummer was

Ignore that two different vocalists bit, I was talking about a completely different song on the album and just remembered that Natrual Born Killer doesn't have any backing vocals lol

In Almost Easy... does he sing "I feel insane every single time my Mastercard's declined"... I'm guessing not... but shit I was like "EH?!" lol

[pix3lboy]

Yes, yes he does. Actually it's 'every time I'm asked to compromise' lol

[MarkuzR]

OK, I liked Beast and the Harlot more than Almost Easy but it has so many undertones of 80s speed metal like Helloween style melodies and shredding. Good though! Not that Helloween weren't good.. you know what I mean

[pix3lboy]

Yeah a lot of the album that beast and the harlot is on was inspired by 80's metal. It was Synyster Gate's second album with them so they basically gave him free reign to play as fast as he wanted lol

For Kat. I love the change at 1:42 (and 2:53). Also, Wayne Hussey's a cool fucker on this track.

I woke up singing this song, I have no idea why I haven't heard it for years but it's been going round in my head all day

[pix3lboy]

I can't get The Art of Moderation by InMe out of my head. Love the intro so much.

I suck, only just saw this. Now I want to dig out my old clothes and mope about in a dingy bar dammit

[MarkuzR]

So really the only difference there is the old clothes, then?
