what i hope for the new album is that it doesn't sound so clean and polished like invaders and AONO. the main reason why jilted is my favourite album is because it sounds grimy, dirthy and hard. i can't really explain what i'm trying to say very well but you get the point.
Yeah this really. even FotL has that grungie sound but it just alot more polished compared to the first 2. It all went wrong with AONO in my opinion.
Agh what...AONO isn't everyones tastes and I don't like a good chunk of it, but I wouldn't call it 'clean'...opening tracks are as dirty as you can get. Personally I actually find (don't kill me anyone) the first two albums the cleanest, more synth work, and Fotl/aono more dirty sounding with samples sliced about and heavier drums. That said, it doesn't play any way into what I like and why; mftjg is my fav album, SMBU is possibly my fav track, fotl is least fav album, aono second least

See, what I like doesn't really add up in terms of clean-dirty. IMD however, I just found plain messy. Not dirty, but a lot of..noise going on.
At about 3:10 in colours, whenever 'the show your
colours' bit comes in I hear nasty resonance in the background which goes as soon as the bass stops. Could be an intentional effect but it just sounds nasty once you hear it.
