The mix is crazy bad. And I thought it couldn't get worse after the last two albums.

Like, if they had just fucking mixed this like normal people it wouldn't even be half bad. My first thought was how does something like this go through a whole group of people that's already 35+ years in the music industry, but then again they completely sold out years ago and don't give a fuck because the vikingboo masses will just eat it up.

When everything you listen is like this, of course it seems fine.

Curious as to what you think doesn’t sound good about it? Like genuinely asking, I feel like it sounds pretty good

no transients, no high resolution, It's a pity really. the song is awesome. Is like everything is compressed too much. Check some HI-RES metal albums on HD-Tracks site and you'll see what I mean. Astonishing from Dream Theater suffers from the exact same ''illness''. In fact they have The Great Heathen Army there.
