Episode notes
Formulaic Song Structure Hurts Impact
- Beartooth songs often follow a rigid formula: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, breakdown, chorus.
- That sameness makes albums like Aggressive feel repetitive and emotionally flat.
Polish Can't Fix Weak Songs
- A remixed/remastered mix can make a flat record sound fuller without improving the songwriting.
- Production polish doesn't fix weak choruses or bland heavy parts.
Commercial Sound Drains Personality
- Aggressive feels commercialized and loses the raw personality of earlier Beartooth.
- Nathan and Jeff agree the album sounds like a product aiming for radio, not catharsis.
