Feb 22, 2015 Actual song preferences aside, I noticed something. Has anyone else noticed how on Recovery and HTS, all the vocals on the songs sound as if they're coming from behind a sheet? I mean most songs on Recovery literally sound like he recorded his verses while covering his mouth with a towel. I'm not sure how I can explain this simply but I'll try. With a good pair of speakers/headphones (this is important) listen to a song on Recovery, lets use On Fire for example, or even worse Almost Famous. Now listen to a song also with yelling on MMLP2, like So Much Better. Another example for comparison sake: Won't Back Down and Baby. Listen side by side.. It sounds like when the songs on Recovery were produced, they put a slight effect on every song. Maybe it was to lessen the harshness of the yelling? But it doesn't sound natural, like natural vocals should sound. I swear I'm not losing it, if you don't have a decent set of speakers or headphones you may not notice it as much. Comments?

Feb 25, 2015 It's just the way they are mixed. They used some kind of weird EQ and compression chain. I honestly don't really like it, but, whatever.
