  • Used to be good...

    The brothers are ok, but the old guy, he is so stuck in his opinnions that there is no place for guys like him. Complaining based on his own assumptions that are mostly false.

    Also, if you hate mouth sounds and sounds of eating, skip this. There are few easy productorial tricks that they could do but don't. They seem to just record and release without any post production.
