To me it's not silly at all, and I think you know exactly what I'm talking about.  By the way Jeff, not that I think you care, but I do think you know your shit when it comes to music, it's just not in my nature to have an aggressive argument with anyone, and it seems like that was the path that...

Those who think their taste in music is the standard by which music is judged probably shouldn't join an internet forum either.  The difference is I recognize my opinion as being just that, and both accept, and expect that it is meaningless to most, especially strangers on the web. By the way I...

I never said you only listened to those bands, I said you listed them.  You are claiming song writing is black and white, it's not, there shades of gray , and a whole shit load of shades at that.  There is nothing wrong with being competitive on an instrument, it's no different than anything...

I completely disagree with this.   Both Yes and DT are more than capable of writing great songs.  You may not like them, or it may not fit your ideal of what a great song is but that doesn't mean that other people, myself included, think that way.  You can't quantify "best band ever".  It's...

Yax, good explanations.  I took a bunch of vocal classes at Berklee (was there for guitar) in the hopes of developing a decent voice but it never happened.  I just sucked, and I still do at singing.  I could grasp the concepts of vocal technique, but I couldn't execute them for the life of me...

I went to a bunch of shows in several countries on SBIT tour.  The Canadian audiences kicked serious ass, and were the nicest, coolest people I met.  

This was posted on the IMFC last night and it actually gets posted on HydrogenAudio and headfi quite often as well.  http://warbucket.org/forums/index.php?/topic/6034-can-you-hear-the-difference-between-flac-and-128-kbps-mp3/  Though people always use different clips when posting this exercise...

+1 to pretty much everything in that post. I love the production on Bruce's vocals so far on TFF as well. Something that gets overlooked in the production of modern Maiden is the effect of 3 guitarists.  It changes the dynamic completely from a production standpoint.  Just by default things...

If you do a search for "lazy", and "spellcheck" you'll find other posts by people where the same thing happened, like this post here http://forum.maidenfans.com/http://forum.maidenfans.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=206795#p206795

No it wasn't aimed at anyone, I was talking about my post.  That message appeared in the middle of my post after I posted it.  I have no clue why it was there.  I can't figure out how it got there.  I edited it out but it was weird.  I thought maybe it automatically comes up if you spell the...

One thing that doesn't get pointed out enough is that much of the hate of MP3's people have come from back when mp3's first took off.  The compression rates were lousy and the methods and codecs were not as good either.  There were a ton of  files back then where you could hear the compression...

I'll try to answer and hopefully won't start a huge battle. :)  Mp3's ripped at a high quality (320 CBR, V0) will not bear out a huge difference, if one at all to most listeners, and much of it is dependent on how revealing your gear is.  Some of that is also dependent on the codec that was used...

I have heard the MP3's and I really liked what I heard, though to my ears MP3 is not the best way to listen.  I really love the production on Bruce's vocals and the fact that he is out in front of the mix.  It sounds like it's going to be a my favorite of the Shirley productions.  More...

Cool man.  You are obviously right that I am making an assumption that his hearing damage plays any role in the final product, without any tangible way to prove that.  I suppose I should amend my statement by saying "it's my theory that..."  As far as proof of that damage I will admit as well...

He begins getting credit as a co-producer on NPFTD.  He obviously had say in the outcome before that, but I don't think Steve was nearly as involved until that point. I didn't realize this was such a divisive topic here, and wouldn't have pushed it had I realized it would get messy.  I like...

One of the reasons these arguments get ugly is that sound is in the ear of the beholder, and if I try to compose a more technical argument it, A)makes me sound like a know it all dick, which I am not, and B ) ends up not making sense to people since it gets too technical for everyone's own good...

Actually I wasn't quoting Blabbermouth.  I didn't Google it myself, I had assumed it would come up.  He has said in many interviews so I made an assumption, my mistake.  I spend zero time at Blabbermouth for obvious reason. Forostar, I'm not trying to come across as pompous, and I sincerely...

Yeah, you have to be an audiophile to dislike the sound of an album.  ::)

It's a well known fact that Steve has hearing damage, just Google it.  And no, I'd say the last few albums proved me right, especially AMOLAD.  But that's just my opinion obviously. 

Yup, I know what you mean, and I think you gave a pretty good description.  The vocals are buried and it was Steve Harris' decision, and a strange one at that.  On the Making of AMOLAD DVD, Steve at one point says that yeah the vocals on some songs are buried but that's the way it sounded best...
