I've played the new Queens album a few times on vinyl and nothing stood out to me as messy about the mix. What are your issues with it?
gore is just mixed TOO LOUD and mastered EVEN LOUDER so there's a lot of over-saturation.

the new QotSA album is mixed really thin and lifeless. it sounds tiny whereas queens usually sound HUGE (because they are and their sound is indicative of that), so it's almost like it's disingenuous. plus, how can you have a drummer as talented as jon theodore and not utilize him at all?
