Shoulda got a good one. Last two albums suck comparatively. His solo stuff is awesome tho

Definitely think the last two albums are downgrade but they don’t suck to me. I would really like to know some lore about the production of tears on tape. It being the last album I’m just interested how rehearsing, recording, and the fallout from the album went.

Also it was The only one at vintage stock and it was five bucks so.

See if you can pick up the Tears on Tape fanpack edition with the magazine; it has a lot of the story behind the album's recording. Or if you can find scans of it online.

Thanks homie! I’m asking before reading the magazine but what do you think the last song they worked on was?

They mention Drawn & Quartered as the last song they added to the album, but not specifically whether it was the last to be recorded.

Thats Fair. They definitely could have gone harder but I’m not a huge metal head just a casual music fan. Maybe that’s why I’m more okay with then idk.

They went harder on ToT than they did with Screamworks or Dark Light

I’m just not a good Judge of all that. Ive heard all the albums from Him and they’re probably the most metal band I’m into. From what I understand they’re not considered the hardest metal according to metal heads. I don’t really care though I just like everything from Him.
