Its sounds like the album was ripped at a bitrate of 96 and then mastered.

yeah exactly! I have a senses fail playlist on my ipod and anytime a song from The Fire comes on, you can immediately hear the difference in sound quality

I love The Fire as well. The lyrics on that album really hit home for me but like I said in another post, I have a senses fail playlist on my ipod and anytime a song from that album comes on you can immediately hear a difference in sound quality. that's just my opinion though

It would be awesome if they re-released The Fire remastered because I really like those songs.

I'm glad to see a bunch of people feel the same way about the production.. was beginning to question if it was just me. Sadly, I doubt a remaster will ever happen :( shame, there are some really good songs (cowards actually one my favorite SF songs). The entire mix is just awful, the guitars sounds so washed out. I can honestly say, the production has prevented me from really getting into the album.. it honestly bothers me that much.

Fair enough. The lyrics are definitely killer compared to past SF records

exactly how i felt. The songs were sick and Coward is probably one of the best SF songs, but the production turned an album that would probably be a 5 into a 3 for me. It really shows how vital production is when it comes to enjoyment of music. I really think it is the pristine sound of the previous albums that really makes The Fire so jarring.

I love The Fire and have no problems with the production. Looking forward to hearing new stuff from them.

I really hope they embrace their hardcore side a bit more on this record. Buddy has become such a strong screamerr and I wish he did it more

let's channel some depths/enfold SF. buddy's scream is simply too good not to showcase.

i love you senses fail

Stoked.

This. Probably you've already did it, but in case you didn't, check out Bayonet's EP (Buddy's side project), such a strong, raw hardcore sound.

Based on the new songs from the greatest hits, it looks like new SF is going to rule. Stoked to hear what they've come up with.
