edited February 2010 in The Porch
I haven't listened to the old mix of Ten since the reissue and I was wondering if anyone else has been like that....or conversely if anyone doesn't dig the remix and is sticking with the old one till death do you part. One of these days I have to check out the remastered disc of the old mix. I haven't touched it once since buying the reissue.

    Some songs are better, some are worse, hard to pick.

    Redux is the only way to go (but stear clear of Evil Little Goat-POS). It's a sonic rebirth of a masterpiece. It's a whole new record.

    I hear ya. I personally don't care for the new mix of Jeremy...especially toward the end where the repeated line "Spoke in..." is louder in the mix than I'd like. But otherwise crystal clear guitars on stuff like Garden and Release just sound perfect. Like JohnnySitar said, "a sonic re-birth" of the album.

    Garden sounds amazing. but to be honest, i haven't listened to either one in awhile. time to re-visit them!


    just started up the Remix vinyl....Once jumps out of the speakers. Jeff's bass sounds really defined. great guitars.....eddie sounds great. McCready solo now.....great fucking song.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Even Flow is crunchy & sounds so tight. Stone's riff is simply awesome. I don't understand how people use this song as their "Piss Song".....Krusen's drums sound great....nice echo on the vocals.

    Alive sounded great.....
    such an amazing song.
    and that solo.....damn.

    Why Go up next and i'm loving it.
    really.
    i think i re-discovered the song when the opened their set at ACL with it. it blew me away. this version sounds tight...hearing some rhythm guitar elements that i hadn't noticed before.


    Black is well....Black.
    a truly beautiful song no matter how you mix it. but i'm hearing new things for some reason....
    could it be that i haven't listened to this in awhile? yes.
    could it be the Bully Porter? Maybe.
    the piano seems to jump out & the guitars seem crisper.
    did i mention that this is a beautiful song?
    damn...Eddie can flat out SING. holy shit.

    Jeremy.
    sounds more clear as well.
    love when the guitars really kick in.
    great backing vocals....
    sounds a little different to me, but still sounds really nice.


    Oceans......ahhhh
    love this song.
    hearing the electric creep in...
    stronger vocal exit in my opinion...

    i'll save the rest for tomorrow. fun to re-visit this record.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    You know, a great song is a great song...the mix doesn't ruin it, or make it shitty...

    I love raw versions of great songs that lack production...

    maybe I'm alone, but saying that one song is "worse" than another because of its mix?

    I wholeheartedly disagree.......

    it wasn't the production, it was the mix. there were certain points in certain songs where Brendan brought up a certain guitar, or a drum fill, or whatever. it just added more to an already fabulous song. It made us hear what the band intended to hear.

    I just listened to "Side A" driving in this morning. Definitely a crisper sound, can hear instruments more distinctly. I'm a big fan of the remix! Can't wait for the ever-awesome Side B tonight: Oceans/Garden/Release... just glorious!

    Ever since hearing the remix...it's very hard to go back. Unless, of course, I'm at a bar and put money in the jukebox and want to hear a Ten song but the remix version costs two credits because you have to do an internet search for it and the original version is only one credit because the jukebox actually has Ten....I go for the original. But as others said...I like the original Jeremy better.

    The rhythm section sounds so much tighter and present on the remix. Jeff's bass and Dave's drums were too quiet and airy on the original album. I'm sure Sony/Epic was pressuring them to go that way since "Ten" was still in the (albeit waning) era of 80's hair metal and it's reverby, stagy sound.
    So this life is sacrifice...
