Mr Bad Guy - Special edition

@DayDop Runner70 is not moaning about the album but giving his opinion to which we are all entitled too.
You seem pretty adamant that you are right and Runner70 is wrong well i agree with Runner70 the album has been spoilt.
"Man Made Paradise" was always my favourite track on the album but the new mix makes the drums vanish into the background.
There is also a few more tracks that sound limp too.
Any Abba sound mixing guy would have made a better job 100%
Abba's production was always more superior to Queen's which is shocking as Queen were a rock band and Abba a pop group.

The same ABBA whose drums sound like cardboard boxes??

Not that I'm in any way agreeing with you that ABBA's production was superior than Queen's (some track-by-track instances might exist but the inclusion of "always" makes that a laughable suggestion), but why shouldn't a pop artist sound better than a rock group? Some of the greatest sounding records in any given era have been 'pop' ones.

It sounds patchy and totally flat. Especially IWBTLY's drums now sound like a cheap EDM beat you hear in lame disotheques. Surely not the way Freddie wanted it to sound.[/QUOTE]
Again, you're still making the same backward claim ad nauseam.
No matter how many times you say the drums on the new version sound "flatter", it doesn't make it any more true.

Hi bullshitter,

Quote the part where I've ever made any "claim that this thread is [my] sole property."

As for your last paragraph, I don't think someone such as yourself who tells lies - such as the one you've just told - is likely to be believed or cheered on by anyone other than an idiot.

Speaking of which...

Yes, it's a "lol good one" that aristide1 has just caught himself out in a lie.

*Facepalm*

Btw, I'm not surprised in the slightest you avoided answering my question:
Why do you think it's homophobic to point out that you're never going to suck Lambert's cock no matter how much you obsess over him?

I said whining, and runner_70 is whining. If you're unfamiliar with the definition of that word, here it is: "complaining or inclined to complain in a childish or petulant manner"

That word descries his behaviour perfectly.

I take it you've not heard a first UK pressing of Queen's The Game on vinyl, or a first UK pressing of Queen's The Works on vinyl on a decent set up. If you had, you'd not be coming out with the nonsense you are about Abba's mixing being superior.

None of what you said surprises me given that you can't hear that the new version of Mr Bad Guy is a clear improvement.

What set up have you got anyway? You mentioned Denon earlier.

it is laughable. He's talking absolute shit.

This daydop guy is the most annoying tool after the AL loonies. It is like "My hamburger restaurant has the best meals on offer" - my gosh

Your annoyance is your problem. Ask yourself why you're annoyed. The answer that doesn't lay blame on someone else will be the first step towards you dealing with your problem.
That way of thinking could also help you deal with your "AL" obsession.

Seems like guys on here like Daydop and Cmsdrums are the ones who need to wise up.
Abba always produced clean cut sound on there records, and no muffling like what Freddie has on his new edition of Mr Bad Guy album,
Even "Live Killers" had appalling sound and Roger agreed on that one.
Probably the best Queen album with decent clear sound is "The Game" album
My opinion so do not say i am talking shit because your not god to judge.

K770i, re:

>Abba always produced clean cut sound on there records, and no muffling like what Freddie has on his new edition of Mr Bad Guy album,

You do realise Freddie is dead, don't you? He's responsible for nothing other than the lyrics, vocal recording and title on the album re-mix.

Did you get a copy of the Queen MIH album signed by him too? Genuine rarity that.......

I'm already wise to the BS you're coming out with, thanks. It's you who needs to "wise up" to that. Cmsdrums is right too. How about addressing his point rather than the cop out answer that those who disagree with you need to "wise up"?
The idea that a pop album shouldn't or can't have better sound quality than a rock album is total and utter bollocks.
For example, regardless of what music you prefer, the sound quality of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories knocks Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti out of the park. Another example (of many) of a rock album with ropy sound quality is Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell. I'm not a Jackson fan but Thriller is a far superior sounding recording. What about all the Lo-fi rock albums that sound like shit compared to well recorded pop albums?

And no one needs to be "God" in order to make a correct judgement. For example, it should be "you're" not "your", in the sentence where you said "your not god to judge."

Why did you say "Even "Live Killers" had appalling sound and Roger agreed on that one".
I'm curious why you've said "Even" there?
It seems to me, you're attempting to shoehorn Live Killers in, as you know full well it's widely known that's a thin sounding recording. It makes your argument look good if you've got something right, yes?
However, just because that's true, it doesn't mean you're right about the new version of Mr Bad Guy.

And really, Abba has nothing to do with this (their recordings are rather average and despite some of their hits being catchy, they're fucking boring IMO).

The Game and (first UK pressing of) The Works are great sounding Queen albums (no reissue or CD version of The Works comes close to the first UK pressing).
Other Queen albums that have decent enough sound quality are A Day At the Races, News of The World, and the sound quality of Hot Space isn't too bad either.

It's weird that you cant hear that the sound on Mr Bad Guy is an improvement, when it clearly is, as plenty have mentioned.

Which brings me back to the question you didn't answer...
What set-up have you got, K770i? You mentioned Denon earlier.

Just reading some opinions on another forum regarding Mr Bad Guy...

Each quote is by a different person...

"New mix of "Mr Bad Guy" album is very enjoyable. Acoustic drums now sounds powerful and 'fat'."

"The remixes are all out on Spotify and sound glorious. ALL the tracks from the "Mr Bad Guy" album really benefit from this new treatment."

"I ordered the stand-alone Mr. Bad Guy and Never Boring discs, but I've been away and not got my hands on them yet. By all accounts the Bad Guy remix has done wonders for the album."

"Right?! I am stunned at how the album sounds now and how it gave me a completely new apprcciation for it. Just goes to show how important it is to have a good mix."

"Yeah, I finally gave it a listen this morning and even through laptop speakers the improvement was clear."

"Had a listen to the new Mr Bad Guy remix on Spotify - sounds very good!!"

"I was never blown away by MR. bad guy album. Its a fun pop record. nothing more, nothing less.
I finally got around to playing the SE today. have to say it sounded pretty good. more punch & clarity. sure they fudged some stuff along the way, but overall not too bad."

"Gave a listen to the remixed Mr. Bad Guy this week, and I really enjoyed it. The album is still never going to be great...I think the surviving members wisely chose the best tracks to turn into Queen songs and the rest...are fun, but not essential. But the new mix is a much better listen than the original, IMO...less reliance on bad drum machine settings and a more full, fleshed-out sound."

BOOH has a ropy sound quality? What drugs are you on? It ewas produced in the 70's and has one of the best productions of this era. It is a legendary record production AND song wise.How could anyone compare it to Thriller? A pop album that came out years later where the recording equipment was totally different and the music is no pomp rock like Meat Loaf? You self called expert on sound are just a sad joke. I mean it. Pathetic really

NOTW is the worst sounding Queen album after Jazz. They ent for a less pompous sound but the sound quality is very muddy
