Actually, don't you think the majority of commercial stuff on the radio regularly has a similar track count?
I wonder what the track count was on Damn The Torpedoes.

nope. growing up on MTV in the 80s i thought most things sounded like shit. the gated reverb, the synths, chorusy guitars, super narrow bandwidth distorted guitars that sounded like mosquitos, singers singing to me from a mountaintop 10 miles away, mostly non-existent bass guitar. all of it sucked and i was glad when it went away.@?,*???&? wrote:Honestly though, doesn't anyone miss those decadent excesses in music these days?drumsound wrote:with a passion---its more of a Mutt thing, but they are the worst (best) of his BS.MoreSpaceEcho wrote:hehe you really hate def leppard don't you?

no shit. Doesn't mean there weren't some good songs in the '80s though. I remember hating "Voices Carry" by 'Til Tuesday when it was out. Much much later I heard the album and thought, huh, this ain't so bad, what was I thinking? Then I ran across the "single mix" which is worlds different from what's on the album--every sin of 80s production and then some.

I hated the sound of everything big rock 80s. I was in high school and listened to things from the 60-70s because I couldn't stomach much of what was popular in the sequenced pop or 'verb laden rock. I did like some of the new wave synth stuff.@?,*???&? wrote:Honestly though, doesn't anyone miss those decadent excesses in music these days?drumsound wrote:with a passion---its more of a Mutt thing, but they are the worst (best) of his BS.MoreSpaceEcho wrote:hehe you really hate def leppard don't you?
I think there's plenty of excess now in the recording process, it's just different things that people are being excessive about. 7 snare samples, 32 BD samples, micro editing, 84 guitar parts. 157 backing vocals, 207 mix revisions....
