Yeah. Photographer friend back in the 90s hired to promote. He wasn't some hack hanger-on or anything. Back when photography was a hard job and the camera didn't do everything for you. Band treated him like shit.

Damn, that sucks to hear. I'm hoping they were having a bad day. If they have a history, that's too bad.

One guy from the band cosplays as a producer and fucking destroyed two Baroness albums... fuck this band.

I'll never forgive this band for the asshole who became a producer and ruined two Baroness albums by being a shit producer who doesn't understand clipping.

Edit: Alexfart corrected me...I hate Dave Feldman not the Flaming Lips, I thought he was part of the band.

Holy crap who was that? I remember excitedly listening to a Baroness album when i learnt that Seb from Trans Am had joined on drums and thinking that the production was absolutely broken. Clipped to hell for sure. Baffling. I never looked into it. How could such a thing happen and I wonder if the mastering engineer had words or even just the studio / mix engineer(s) . Or the band for that matter.

The new album wasn't mixed by a compete fuckwit and sounds okay.

Are you talking about Dave Fridmann? He isn't in the band but he produced a lot of flaming lips (and many other albums for other bands too) albums. Would be weird to hate spoon, ok go, mgmt, mogwai, tame impala for the same thing imo.

Fair enough...I am a dumb...fuck that guy though.
