I liked it a lot. It fits very well with what's happening right now in music. I was hoping, I guess, for something a bit more experimental, but it is definitely very good pop. Can't wait to hear some of the moodier tracks. _________________

Wow, that was really good. It's coming out in April, right? I know what I want for my birthday. |

IIRC, didn't Jeremy say on his blog that he likes to mix real strings with MIDI strings? If so, it's a production choice that I'm not too keen on, but that's just me. Great song either way, though. |

No. He plays everything. I've talked to him about it quite a bit since it's a huge reason I'm recording with him. His last album had strings on every song, every track had violin, cello and viola. Each of those had 6 different parts and he tracked 12 different tracks for each part, sitting in a different section to make his own orchestra of strings. Pretty thorough. He may have used some on this, but given his capabilities, I highly doubt it. And I know he's put a lot of hours into it cause every time I would visit Red Velvet during the process, he was really tired, about to burn out or he couldn't meet up cause he was busy with, mostly, this album. And to top it off, during making this album, he's done strings for Sleeping at Last, recorded some stuff with a guy who came to MO to record in studio with him, finished his album, did a huge album release show and many other things. I know SAL has had him mix some strings with midi before, but it was per Ryan's request. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R. Kelly approves of peeing in the shower.

Well done, well done indeed. I'm in a mellow mood today so it's struck me as a little brighter than I'm keen on digesting at the moment. Definitely Pristine. Crystalline in sound. Actually made me think of the Cardigans and A Camp, but if you don't have any exposure to their "deep album cuts" from yesteryear that's not gonna make any sense to you. Stacy's breath control on this one is what really stuck out to me as far as positives. It sounds like she's really projecting while using her head voice (a very Bjork thing to do  ). She sounds energized and confident, good things. Gonna take some getting used to in order to get into "not so moody" tracks with Stacy's voice on them. I guess her Sleeping At Last guest spot will have to serve as my primer.
if I had to make a call, One Last Song is more me right now, if I'm permitted to be my melancholy old self and not get pummeled for it  _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

She was on the 1st EP, and I thought she was on a later EP, but my wires were probably crossed because she was on Jon Foreman's EPs as well, and then he was on a later Yearbook EP, as well as Jeremy Larson. So in the midst of all that I may be misrepresenting her participation. My bad. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons.

My brother likes Sucre more than Eisley now, too. However, he loves the ending to One Last Song, which he didn't love so he turned it off before the switch over even came, I made him go listen to the end. Haha. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R. Kelly approves of peeing in the shower. The world is R. Kelly's shower. It's a golden world.

So I've been a bit bored of the whole girl-with-a-pretty-voice genre of music lately, but HOLY SH!T. |

Classically trained pianist =/= to classically trained string player (or vice versa), but nonetheless it explains a lot! Yeah, I was not feeling One Last Song and I skipped ahead to see if it would get any better, happily it did. _________________ my name's carrie and i love a good sandwich so if you have a sandwich, come roll with me!

Can't wait to hear some of the moodier tracks. Pretty much my feelings exactly. Not a bad thing, I really like it! Just had no idea what to expect, but not sure if I expected that. Sounds good, I can definitely imagine this one on one of those "indie rock" stations and getting noticed! |
