I don't know what the dead wax means either so it felt reassuring when you came and asked for help on here figuring them out.

Estate thing? Causing an issue with a repress?

Like there's estate said something about "we only gave you the license for this many this month" and then they had to revise it
That's probably what storf will say

Ah yeah okay. I could see that. But Mr and Mrs ODB the CD skipped so it doesn't count...

I mean, it would not surprise me for the estate to be like… y’all pressed them that way dumbasses.

I’m the guy who thought the CD skipping improved ODB.

I'm not gunna lie, on that particular song, it completely fit. I would never have known...

Exactly, it bothered me far less than how The W sounded overall and I still haven't heard an explanation as to what the fuck happened with that one.

I was gunna swap for that one until I saw the reviews....

That one seemed surprising because Cicely usually does great work. Given how bad the reviews were, seems crazy that it went all the way through production and was approved

literally no one knows the situation.. when storf was asked he said "I was too busy with stuff to understand sooo... i dunno some people got good copies some didn't"
maybe cicely thought every song was supposed to sound like the ODB song

This is how it all started with Bandbox, the plants are backed up, we are waiting on the zine to ship them and we all know how that ended.

Yeah, I mean considering she made a literal CD rip sound awesome the month before, I can only imagine she was given trash source material for the W.
It’s not traditionally bad mastering (like flat and lifeless sounding), it’s just really weird sounding. Maybe she did what she could with it, VMP was in the early stages of their leadership issues and just approved it without much scrutiny, and she moved on to another project. Best I can guess.

It's so hard to describe how it sounds "off" too. Almost like the pressing is off-center but visually it doesn't seem to be that way. The W isn't one of my favorite Wu projects so I'll probably dump my copy sooner or later but still feel pretty disappointed by the whole thing.
