We’re still complaining about auto tune in 2023? It’s popular cause a lot of people like it. Maybe there’s some perceived lack of authenticity, but I’d equate it to not liking electric guitars, Its an effect that changes the character of the sound and some people like it, others not so much. But it’s definitely been the predominant sound for the last decade.
Some of your examples are a bit much, and I think particularly for those artists voices it’s a bit grating, but I think that has more to do with them than the effect itself
1.5 Listens in I kind of have mixed feelings, I like the new sounds he is exploring but I think some of the aspects that made ASTROWORLD so great are really missing here. The sequencing of the tracklist feels almost like listening to an album on shuffle, and Im finding the mix is really inconsistent throughout. For example compare Travis’s vocal levels on SIRENS vs GODS COUNTRY or TELEKENISIS. Also there was a number of moments where I was surprised how muddy everything was sounding.
Additionally I don’t know if there is too many standout moments here or songs I know I’m going to be coming to for awhile.
Really like the worldwide Wednesday idea.
