You're analyzing lossy files, for all we know they were mixed to sound a bit worse just to prevent piracy by audiophiles. Once the album drops officially, do a comparison?Originally Posted by DigitalChaos
I'm really fucking bored right now. So, I'm staring at spectrographs of the 256AAC encodes.
The loop closes - I am completely unable to hear the 18kHz line that grows through the end.
Too late, all gone - What's up with the 16kHz shelf?

You're funny.
For me this song is MAGIC/DOPE!
Use the 'repeat' button.

Well, the 18kHz line and 16kHz shelf wouldn't be introduced from this specific lossy encode. It wasn't meant to be an official analysis of the final product, just a "huh, wonder why that is?" The web stream has an absolute ceiling of 16hHz. I wanted to see what was above it!

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Could one of the files accidentally be a transcode? It seems strange, but I suppose it's possible, unless there is something really different about that track that effects the mastering.I'm really fucking bored right now.

That would certainly be possible. I was wondering if some of the instruments & samples used in that track were had a limited range.

Listening to the Too Late, All Gone lyrics...
Stuck on static
Automatic
Turn off tragic
Mother magic
It reminded me of the "mother/magick" headline that mariqueen used to have on her twitter profile.

Goddamn I knew I knew it from somewhere.
A little birdy tells me that the CD print of the album doesn't come with lyrics, so I'm praying that either vinyl or CD-J does because some of these lyrics are just wut

Hopefully there will be a PDF like last time or for With Teeth.
Josh Wink was on HLAH
There wasn't a PDF last time, not with lyrics on anyway. From what I'm told, the Pitchfork arty stuff is quite simply the booklet from the CD.

Here's a thought on "Too Late, All Gone" - maybe that track was done and mixed down, and during the period between the album being 'finished' and the album being released, new elements were added to the mixed down version.

That would definitely fit the spectrograph!

so do we know now which HTDA album-track 'the bug' was talking about on this tweet?

Process of elimination, it has to be The Province Of Fear or Unintended Consequences, as we've seen the liner notes for all the other tracks
Flaccid Member
I thought it might be "And The Sky Began to Scream" because it kinda sounds like what I imagine TR&AR/ The Bug to sound like
Josh Wink was on HLAH
It's not. Because we have the liner notes for the CD, and The Bug isn't mentioned at all. It is possible he's not on the vinyl either, but for now we can only assume he must be on the bonus tracks.

His track might've just been cut. Sometimes collaborations just don't work out.
Hairy Member
I didn't really care for the ep when it came out, but I guess it eventually grew on me because this album is fucking tits.
Stubby Member
I have, and it's an interesting treatment. Reminds of of Tone Loc in a weird way.

I had an exchange with The Bug's twitter about the collab.

Damn, that's a bummer. Thanks for helping clear things up, thelastdisciple!

Just a heads up to anyone else like me who may have order via Amazon, just got an email saying we won't see our vinyls until March 19th. BOOOOOOO.

Another good reason to get it from htda's site - you'll probably get it first.

Wheee. Kevin sure sounds fun to work with!

I got the same email and it indicated a change in release date.

He went on to call them flakes for not using his music. Ah well, we got Ally instead :PWheee. Kevin sure sounds fun to work with!

Kind of let down that 'sandro is listed just as himself, not as Sonoio or Blindoldfreak

With my Prime account it was worth it to avoid shipping, though. Kind of a win/lose I suppose.

Consider it paying extra to get your lossless/high quality MP3 download on the day, plus more $ to the band
Throbbing Member
I ordered the CD off of Amazon last night, having forgotten that you don't get the download... If I had remembered I would have given it more thought first but still would have gone with Amazon. With shipping it was $20 (USD) off of the HTDA site, $15.32 (CDN) from Amazon.ca (free shipping).
Active Member
True. I keep telling myself it's not too big of a loss though because I know I would just end up replacing the MP3 downloads with the vinyl version of the album. Plus I'm about to drop asinine amounts of cash on tickets this Wednesday.
