No, I agree, it's a dreadful mix. The drums, in particular, are dull and lifeless. There's a bit more guitar than usual, which is a nice change, but once again they've put out something which sounds like a rough demo. It's not as if Shirley can't do good mixes. It almost as if when has Harris perched on his shoulder, he's guided towards this horrible, flat sounding mixes. It's another area where they peaked with SSOASS. NPFTD and FOTD weren't too bad, if nothing special, and then poor Blaze got lumped with these awful mixes which, BNW aside, have become the band's trademark ever since.
