He closed his eyes. Suddenly it was 2011 again: cheap whiskey, worn-out band tees, the last summer before streaming ate the world. An album no one asked for, played by men who had nothing left to prove, recorded to tape and preserved here, in Marco’s headphones, with absolute fidelity.
The album opener sets the tone with a heavy, grinding riff from Satriani. In a lossless FLAC format, the separation between Chad Smith’s cracking snare and Anthony’s driving bassline avoids the "muddy" compression common in standard streaming formats.
