These sound good! 

Hopefully some day, Deftones and Ross Robinson can get together and give this version of Root and Nosebleed a proper release on CD or Digital.

I'll just keep throwing the idea out in the world and maybe it will happen. 

Awesome!  Thank you very much! 

Their all afraid of me, but I know you're not them

I also just did quirk like an hour ago

This was honestly hard af to fix but it's far better than the original rip

What can I say, I work fast!

Quote from: SenAM on Sep 27, 2025, 05:09 PMIt's definitely not just those two, the whole album suffers from this. Fuck, I've even heard distorting ride cymbals on Departing the Body, which is super bizarre. I've never heard clipping ride cymbals in any other rock adjacent album in my life, which is telling. Like some other user said around here, the songs are mad fatiguing to listen to, especially in one sitting despite how concise the album is.

Did Nick really produce this? Did fucking Rich Costey, of all people, really mix this? He was in charge of mixing instructions for Koi, so that's definitely a disappointment. Howie Weinberg mastered it, and so did he on Gore and Ohms too, so the mastering is probably not at fault. I wish this fucking trend went away. It makes everything sound toothless.

Long time lurker here, just created an account to reply to this because I felt obliged. There is no clipping on the ride in departing the body. That is a sequencer/drum machine overlay. If you have decent headphones or speakers you should be able to tell. It's even panned differently, the ride is centre right and the sequencer is centre left.
I agree that (as is the case with most of Nick's records), there is too much compression, but I also think the actual mixing and sonics/tones on this album are the best of the three Nick albums. 

Dude just released a new version

Thanks for the reply, and thank you for posting the video.

Please let us know if you end up making a remaster of it.  I would love to hear it.

Hey, the link that you posted is actually my video and I am currently working on a better remaster of that tape. Yes, I have the original FLAC files but they are pretty much the same quality as the versions on Youtube. To hear the demo in better quality, someone either has to digitize the original tape, or I have to do the best I can to restore most of the original audio quality. Hope this helps!

Would you DM me a download link for the MP3?  When I try to DM you, it says your mailbox is currently full.  I really appreciate it. 

Also, thank you for making the remastered version of the Bob Ezrin demos.  I have been listening to those a lot lately.
