1K Club - QQ Shooting Star
I actually like (but don't love) this one - yeah, it's not like the BOC quad mixes, but it's a massive improvement on the fidelity of the stereo mix, not to mention the boxy-sounding quad mixes of the previous two albums. There are even some good surround-y bits including the guitar break in Don't Fear the Reaper circling the room. Would I like it to have more discrete stuff in the rears? Sure, but this is still at least a 7 for me.
Well there’s defo discrete stuff around I agree... But the mix has something fishy about it to me? Just quite disappointing... I think there was talk in the polls about raising the rears, which I think helped?
Perhaps this could be a contender for ’The Adventure in Second Guessing’ series?
The album is floating around in the Sony 360 world right now - who knows what version they’re using for that?!
