So Sup Forums, I hope I'm not the only one that thinks this album is shit.
The vocals are atrocious and hard to listen to, with Win Butler ignoring his technical inabilities and belting out high notes leading to his annoying wobbling.
The mixing is absolute shit, with vocals drowned out under the mix, which is fine if it's drowned out by interesting textures that still has clarity, such as some shoegaze bands out there. Instead, vocals are drowned out by some muddy-ass textures that painfully sound like a band that self-produced their album for the first time.
This is frustrating, because I absolutely love the concepts they're going for. The songwriting is excellent, the lyrics are great. It's the shit vocals, shit mix, and overzealous arrangements that are clearly out of the band's ability to mix.
Opinions, Sup Forums? I may be the only one who thinks this, so feel free to call OP a faggot.

The mixing is great, it's not supposed to sound like pop music, it's supposed to sound like "traditionals" and old vinyl recordings.
John Sanders
Idk, I think the arrangments are quite good.
Is it one of the greatest of all time? Fuck no, but it isn't 'shit'
Solid 7/10 imo

"Shit" is not an opinion. Try to express something other than buzzwords and you might get other than "fag" and "this". Also, what an attention whore. What are you, a woman?

No, I get lo-fi production. Neutral Milk had clipping all over In The Aeroplane, but it was done with style in mind and executed perfectly. I'm not saying Funeral wasn't trying to achieve this type of sound. But if the listener is thinking twice whether or not the album was produced horribly, or if it was done on purpose, a cohesive vision and sound that does not make.
Sorry, I'm not saying the arrangements are bad. When I say overzealous, I mean in terms of the band's ability to mix the sounds they are creating into a cohesive album. They're great arrangements, but if you put hundreds of different sounds and textures into one song, you better damn well know how to mix it.
*Under-qualified vocals *muddy poorly-EQd mix mix And I'm just trying to get the opinions of some others here, because I honestly don't get the hype.

You're a faggot.

>The songwriting is excellent, the lyrics are great I like it for this reasons though
Josiah Butler
Agree with this.

Mediocre pop music. They're only hailed as good or are popular because they came along at the right time
