Okay, fine—I’ll join the chorus:
The new mix of Tim—the perhaps appropriately unloved major label debut from The Replacement released waaaaaaaaay back before I was born—is phenomenal.
I never doubted the original, by the way. I’ve read half a dozen critics reflecting on the new mix, and they all confess to some level of irritation with the mix.
The mix?
I don’t really know either—but what I do know is that when I listen to the new Ed Stasium (the producer) mix of this album that I’ve loved for over a decade, they I can hear lyrics clearly for the first time! I can follow the bassline! I can hear another guitar part!
If that doesn’t delight musically, I don’t know what does.
