After not hearing it for several weeks, today I listened to
Washing Crystal Balls. I was amazed at how crappy it sounded. (1) The vocals seem to be a lagging the instruments, especially in the first verse. (2) There's a lot of noise and distortion that sounds like crap. There is no excuse for (1) and I don't know how it happened. There is also no excuse for (2) but it is more understandable because when you hear something over and over, it begins to sound normal, maybe even good.
Back to the mixing desk...
