Thanks for listening with thought!
I definetively agree with you, that machine gun effect is quite annoying to a person like me, who listens heavy music two times a year. (If I remember correctly it's made with kick) There's also many other parts that I find quite annoying in heavy music. But on the other hand, probably just the very same details that are annoying to me, are the details that make other people love heavy music.
And that same thing makes it almost impossible to mix heavy music for someone who is not a fan of it. How in earth can one do mixing decisions that "don't feel right"? And if one follows truely one's own slightly softer taste, we end up easily to something like "Frank Sinatra goes heavy" -music.
But still, it was very nice experience to mix this song. And I'm sure I will try another heavy song some day soon. I just have to develop my "role play" skills little bit more.
