Megadeth

Album:So Far, So Good...So What!

Mustaine:

"This is another one of the struggles that paul had to

try mix. STWA being the first song i ever wrote once

I left Metallica, I wanted it to be heavy as hell, but

somehow we were losing the battle. Right before the

first verse comes in, you will notice the backward

cymbal hit and sound effect is missing. There are

backward cymbal hits elsewhere, so it wasn't like

he didn't know how to do it.

Paul did get a good snare sound on this record,

but Chuck just didn't play it very well. This comes

from an idea that Paul had to record the drums

separately from the cymbals. I hated the idea, but was

willing to see. I got over it because it was different,

but Chuck still hates it to this day, and he thinks he

may still have a grudge with Paul because of it."

Yeah these mixes along with the rust in peace demos I find better. Especially take no prisoners. The demo mix has so much more dynamics.

This is the way the record was meant to be heard. Raw in all its glory. The remastered version of this album is an improvement over the original CD. The Paul Lani mixes are raw as fuck. Hell metal is meant to sound raw not all polished and nice.It is meant to be a kick in the teeth so to speak.
