Heh, weird that, I actually used a pop-filter on that (I'm guessing
you're talking about the talking part), but I guess my pop-filter
isn't very good, or the guy must have been pronouncing the stuff too
hard. I did remove the worst pops with some gain reduction, but of
course you can still hear them. Hoping most people are too distracted
by the weird sentence to actually notice, haha :P Any tips for fixing
the recording as it is? I'll have to try and fix that sometime.

Thanks for the praise though. We plan to release a total of 5 albums
and 4 ep's by the end of the year, where the ep's are a sort of relief
from the 19-part bursts. Hopefully they will all be an interesting
listen even if the albums aren't to your liking! Here's to hoping my
creativity keeps the promise of our plans. The vocalist doesn't seem
to have any trouble making weird lyrics that we can produce weird
titles for ;)

Hehe, that's funny! Kinda trivialises the work that went into the
actual music (there's a lot of guitar riffs in those 2 minutes!), but
I like it! I'll make sure to use it in a future song ;)
