Dr. Dre- Compton- Official Album Discussion Thread (8/7/15)

[Smokey Tha Bandit]

Dre might be a better engineer than producer. He drums hit so hard and you can hear everything.

I haven't commented on the mixing on this album because I dunno how much people here care or notice but if you have flat frequency response speakers/headphones, this album is too bright. Sounds like snakes hissing with the vocals. Other engineers have spoken on it on other forums. This album will not be referenced like 2001 was for mixing.

U wont get the full feel for the album if you arent listening to the shit in woofers anyway. Been listening since it dropped with headphones until today and copped the cd. There is a difference, maybe not as different as 2001 but you can definitely get a different feel for it with bass lines and drums nsuch.

I hear it on my Sennheiser HD600 & in my car very easily. Every stereo I've had since 95 has had a dedicated subwoofer. Bass has little to do with it. It's like he didn't use a de-esser on the vocals. Most of the mix is good until you get above 6kHz. Dre just didn't do so great this time around. I can easily say Ali did a better job with Kendrick's album than Dre with Compton.

man thats why I be like fuck mixing vocals and just stick to the beats. I suck at that shit so I aint gonna hate on Dre for not doing his best on it but that is a bit of a let down. Ive only been listening to it in the car and with my monitors and sub on the computer so I aint hearing all of the nuances but it sounded ok to me guess I need to throw the headphones on and listen closer.

Kendrick be on some other shit in the booth. Nigga was possessed when he recorded Deep Water.

Lol That drowning part was so realistic u can tell it took several takes to get it right for Dre perfectionist ass

That was Anderson .Paak

Went to FYE to see how many copies for sold. They only had one left. Not sure about Best Buy though.

I went to Best Buy Friday morning and they hadn't even received any copies yet and I just said fuck it and ordered online. I finally got my copy in the mail today and I'm not even half way through listening to the album and I got to say the production is on point so far.

 

[Stew]

Best song is Genocide.....maybe I'm crazy but this album wasn't that hot save for a few songs

Yea maybe you're, I fully disagree with both of these statements big time.

 

[genocidecutter]

I like the song named genocide for obvious reasons

Is The Chronic/2001/Compton the greatest trilogy in hip hop

Yall overrating the shit outta this album. It's a good album but even by his standards this isn't great. Chronic & 2001 had distinct sounds. This I didn't get that feeling. In 2015 Dre sounds like everyone else. Album is solid but not a big deal.

So cause it wasn't "ground breaking" and didn't give you that "tingly" feeling inside it can't be great. Gotcha.

I haven't seen many people overrating the album.

I gave it 8 out of 10. Most have given it 8 of 10.......4 of 5.

You said it, not me. No need to have a pissy reaction over my comment doggie....

Calling it like I see it.

 

[Stew]

Who's pissy? lol I was just clarifying your comment.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Who's pissy? lol I was just clarifying your comment.

Your reply was that of a pouty fan. You love the album, cool. I don't. That's life.

Southernplayeristic/Atliens/Aquemini is the correct answer

lol Cause I was clarifying your statement instead of saying your opinion was wrong is being a "pouty fan" now? I could see if I flat out came out and said "wtf are u talkin about, if you don't like this album your gay!" lol terrible assumption.

I feel like some ppl just don't fully understand the genius behind the album

 

[J.J._Evans]

I feel like some ppl just don't fully understand the genius behind the album

I started with a 8 of 10 after my first listen. I'm now listening to the album every day and loving it. If I can get into the Ice Cube song, I won't have any skippable tracks anymore and will move my ranking up. I'm not feeling that one song yet.

Thats definitely my least fav. Was listening today and felt like the hook saved it.
