I would not usally ask questions about this kind of thing but is it me or are compression artefacts present on this track? Or is it just my iTunes pissarsing around? I bought the album digitally on day of release (FYI).

I find that said noises are most prominent in the starting drum beats (0.00 - 0.11 seconds, they also continue throughout the song) and sound exactly like a low quality sample hence causing the metallic or mp3 bell chiming effect? Currently I do not have a CD to compare these MP4 files to, so was wondering if anybody is hearing the same noises on this particular track.

I listened to the track talkthrough (on iTunes) and interpreted that Grohl sent H his tunes digitally, was wondering why H would include mp3 artefacts on a track that was recorded & mastered. Its left me utterly stumped and to me Run With The Wolves is the most skippable track on the album because it sounds like a 96kbs recorded mp3. I dont have any other issues with any other tracks on the album.

I love the vocals on this track but the low qual drumbeats drive me insane and I just have to skip it.

Am still waiting on vinyl album and 7" boxset. Not happy with recordstore to be brutally honest.

Apologies for the essay, ese.

They're on the CD too mate!!

God knows why Liam put those effects on it. Makes it sound like a bad quality burn!

I never noticed this and I'm generally quite picky with this sort of thing. What I did notice though are a few other minor things on different tracks. The "Hold It" part of TMTTH has a distracting low bass sound. There is a wierd extra noise on at the end of a few of the drum loops on the title track Invaders Must Die. Also the horn intro on Warriors Dance has a distant echo of what sounds like a distant drum or something when it loops. I only noticed these things off the actual CD on my hifi which picks up a lot of details. Not sure how much of these are intentional...

a) Liam wanted to give the track a ''Raw'' feel.
b) Liam wants to give the listener the impression that ''Electronic'' beats are harder than drum beats produced from an actual drum kit.

i can hear it too

That echo-sound on the horns on warrior's dance makes it sound more cool I think..

liams excuse for everything lazy he does; its punk rock

the tone of the guitar sounds rubbbish, cut-off above 6khz or some shit.

above all else, for me, worlds on fire has been murdered.

liams made being tacky an artform the past 2 albums now, i like it up to a point.. n then its just silly.
