Sheepdogs and Red Hot Chili Peppers

So I was at Walmart at lunch today picking up some stuff for yard work and swung by the CD section. I noticed the new Red Hot Chili Peppers CD (I'm With You) was released...listened to it a few times tonight and I'm glad to say, the boys are back. Great album.

 

I also noticed that the Sheepdog's CD (Learn and Burn) was also out...so I picked that one up too. I'm always one for supporting Canadian musicians and WOW...I am impressed. If you're a fan of '70s rock (like I am), you owe it to yourself to give these guys a try. I heard about them winning that contest Rolling Stone and they certainly deserve it. Great musicians and great music. L3000.gif

It wasn't the greatest quality sound wise, but the music is fantastic.

Didn't Rick Rubin also work on Death Magnetic? That was another bad "sounding" album (with great Metallica music). Apparently the group started their tour prior to the release and after hearing the excessive compression, Lars was furious.

 

Apparently the Guitar Hero album download had less compression and sounded better than the CD.

Yes, Rick Rubin also worked on Death Magnetic. However, that Lars story is not the one I heard. I heard the band requested they make it louder after hearing a test master played on their cell phones.

 

I don't think Rick Rubin is the one responsible as Californication, Stadium Arcadium and I'm With You all sound wonderful if you have heard the right versions.

 

I think the main problem with Death Magnetic was in the mix and mastering stages. The Guitar Hero version might have less compression, but it still sounds bad.
