@@jackpepperpwb Forte is Italian for ‘strong’ & it became a musical term during the Renaissance when composers first began to indicate dynamics in music notation.

Coming back to this a year later., it brings this album to the level I always wanted it to be. I remember blasiting this in my car at nighttime when it first came out. Once Langstmedan came on, I was pretty much hooked. For some reason though, the original mix was always missing something and I had to adust the settings to enjoy this album fully. Glad they corrected that here!
Man i used to listen to Masstaden and TOE at middle school like crazy everyday ! Idk there's something about the artworks the atmosphere of Vildhjarta that's just unique and mindblowing What a gift Buster :)
Wow! I couldn't quite put my finger on it, and didn't know how to formulate it, but this is exactly what annoyed me with this recording !!! Thank you for opening my eyes 👍

@@PleaseForgiveYourself No I didn't, I just don't see things like you because I'm a book of life reader. And even if it seems crazy to write this kind of stuff, it's just a kind of fun for me. But don't be fooled, all of this comes from a very long reflexion about God that make me understand a lot, you can't compare it to only WTF things after scattering your brain with mushrooms, ARNms, or so. If you try to see if what I wrote is real, you'll see it refers to real Bible things, Herode took Herodias as his wife after a dance, and she finished her life in St Bertrand de Comminges, France (and not in the Israël "Galilée"), France's symbol is the rooster... etc. My mind is full of this inter-legend-myth-Bible-Coran-and Co., just like this music is a reflect of it, in Vildhjarta's way of thinking. Look at the cover, what do you see ? water snakes, pyramids, a blues coming from thousands evils, there is no smokes without fire. PS: I don't really easily speak in English cause I'm French, but still wrote this.
This is a far more cohesive mix. The original, all the instruments had far more separation. Original mix feels darker. I guess there was far more space for the atmospherics in that mix. This has a more wall of sound feel. This is smoother. The old one is more abrasive. Can appreciate both.
I think everyone has their different tastes, personally I prefer the darker emptier sound. This is of course great, and many will prefer it, but I'm still a fanboy of the original EP
@@jandildo I somewhat agree. This mix is a lot more "modern" and I suppose is better in terms of being well rounded. Older one, to me, suits the tone of their music better.

Hej Buster, någon chans att få instrumentala versioner av dessa remixer? Jag gillar den här vocals men jag gillar också att kunna koncentrera mig på musiken ibland. 🤘🏻😣
Listening for the first time. Didn't even know this re-master had happened and I've listened to this EP literally hundreds of times. At first listen, it sounds different but I'm not sure if it's necessarily better. But I might be swayed. I just think the original is perfect. But I love everything you guys do so any criticism is purely subjective. Will report back when I've finished. Sure you'll all be on the edge of your chairs...
My first thought listening to Staos is that it sounds a lot "busier" with more background stuff going on. I think I liked the EP's clearer sound, nothing wrong with things having a bit of space
End of langstmedan sounds great and is definitely making me do the classic gurning vildhjarta face, but I'm not quite sold. Maybe it's just that I've listened to the original so many times, but I feel that a "less is more" approach is better. On Dimman now. This remaster has perhaps too much going on at once and I prefer a bit more clarity. It sounds to me a little like a live recording
End of Dimman was always great because it was so "major" whilst also being so heavy. A really rare thing in metal. Still exists a bit but lost slightly in the re-record.
Listening to the EP again. It does sound so different and actually changes my opinion a bit of the re-master. But I think the difference is not the mastering, but the mixing. If the remaster were just a bit of a tweaking of EQ and compression and the like I'd think it sounds much better, but unfortunately the changes to the actual recorded tracks loses a bit of the original charm. Anyway, I'll shut up now. Thall xoxo
Oh god I don't know. Listening to Regnar Bensin side by side and the new version sounds "better" but I also think it sounds flatter. It's like how an impressionist painting can be imperfect but have something photorealism doesn't. Maybe I'm just chatting shit. I'm probably chatting shit. Maybe I just am used to the old version, like when facebook changes their layout. I'm genuinely going to stop commenting on this now (sike I probably won't)
Maybe it's just me or I just have to get used to it, but I feel theese two remasters sound way too over-processed and too drums-focused. Yeah the drums are huge but lack the groovy feel that makes the original special. I have to say I love the mix in Masstaden Under Vatten tho, which in fact is much less groovy than the previous albums. Either way I appreciate the work being done by Buster and theese guys. T h a l l EDIT: ...i had to get used to it. Seriously, my ears where so used to the old mix that they rejected change, but these are incredibly beefy and satisfying mixes. THANK YOU Buster. PS: please please release an instrumental version of Thousands of Evils.
This is great, but I prefer the original. Something about the low end snarl of the guitars and bass on the original just trigger my "stank face" more. But the clean parts, both instrumental and vocal, come through better on here. The "I repent this act..." part at the end of Mist Förståndet (my most favorite track) - the way it was mixed originally, his voice sounded a little awkward or out of place. In this version, it fits and sounds S I N I S T E R. And of course, the drums hit harder on here which is always good. *T H A L L*
I'm clearly in the minority on this one judging by the comments, but I like the original much better. It had a lot more personality. I will say, I like the Forte version of Masstaden much better
This version is a lot "cleaner" production wise. Something in the original ep felt really loose and wild, especially the low end of the mix. Also a lot of the ambient parts which made me love the original release got ate up by the massive guitar/bass mix now. Like the end of Dimman fran Lutzen, I can barely hear it on most of my audio stuff.
Buster went through Vildhjarta’s previous records and basically did a full overhaul and reproduction of the mixes and masters, and the results are fucking insane.
@@billybobthekidiswack it really doesnt, maybe you have shitty speakers or something lol. the og version sounds more like a rough version compared to this, all the sounds blend much better overall in the remaster
@@Rizzle37 no they don't the drums barely have any attack which makes it sound like they're playing patty cake with aluminum foil and the guitars sound like they're played under a blanket. I've played both versions on phone, computer, and car and the first sounds way cleaner.
You can definitely tell this was around the time Humanity's Last Breath came out. You can hear elements of both bands in this album. I guess buster just decided to do two separate projects. Still a solid album tho.

I loved Masstaden but never really got on with this EP because of the production of the original release. This is soo much better!
Agreed!!
The original release is great lol masstaden had worse production so I don't understand how you came to this conclusion
Hard disagree.
Original had that early 2010's production, good shit
@@benthewavecame the way you feel about masstaden and ToE is switched around for me lmao
This EP changed my life when it came out, thank you for showing it the love it deserved after all these years
I cant stop staring at the album cover art.
The album art has always entranced me.
Rickard Westman's art is always spectacular.
Dimman is still one of the most unique and interesting songs I’ve heard, this mix made it even better!

VILDHJARTA REMASTERED ALBUMS IS THE BEST THING HAPPENNED IN 2022 SO FAR. THANKS GUYS! Good job Buster on the studio mastering! OP as always!
Some fans want instrumental versions of the albums. Other fans want forte versions. I say, is it too much to ask for both?
What does Forte mean?
@@jackpepperpwb explaining what forte means isnt my forte
@@jackpepperpwb it's basically a remixed & remastered version by Buster Odeholm (their current drummer and producer)
@@jackpepperpwb Forte is Italian for ‘strong’ & it became a musical term during the Renaissance when composers first began to indicate dynamics in music notation.
