RE: Mixing rules

I feel this song sounds better with the bass arranged out of the verses. Mixing "law" doesn't say bass has to be in every part of every song, When Doves Cry by Prince doesn't have a bass in the whole song. The right mix can make a difference of the impact of a song. Diana Ross, Diana (1980) - Chic produced and mixed the original version of the album, Diana Ross felt the record didn't have the right impact (sounding too "disco" during the disco backlash era), so she secretly went back in the studio (without Chic knowing) with a Motown mixer and remixed the entire record. Listen to both version on YouTube and the Chic version impact pales in comparison to the more commercially viable stripped down release version.

I feel the down-mixed-over version that was the hit record has the better mix decision.

In closing:

In my opinion, in this particular song, blaring all tracks in the intro, showing the listener all the cards of the song parts in the intro and first verse will leave them bored by the second verse in this song. This band is not popular, no one cares, what can we do as mixers to make them care if we can get a listen?

Just my thought, but "respect" for working with this song, only a few members has attempted it.
