THIS LEAKED COPY IS NOT -MIXED-

i got good ears i can tell you.

the sound is muddy, most of the time there's not even reverb on thom's voice, sometimes the bass overloads everything ... anybody who knows mixing a bit will tell you, and you can feel it too : Nigel Godrich makes stuff WAY better than that.

this album sounds like The Bends, because The Bends has a straightforward mix, more "rock" (muddy) equalization.

now : maybe Nigel wanted that kind of muddy sound, but i got very GREAT doubts. personally i'm quite sure (99%) the mix isn't finished, or even done.

the album still sounds good cause Nigel Godrich knows well how to place mics, and do some pre-equalization when recording, so it's not that bad but i'm pretty sure it will be EVEN better. simply compare to amnesiac, or ok computer, the MP3 we have sounds amateur ...

so : people who don't download MP3s : you'll be rewarded with a first listen which will be the REAL thing, not some weird sounding thom.
