I'm just so happy that they seemed to take their time with these songs and make them sound actually finished!
Yep, this has been a major problem that I've had. The mixing on A-One and Love Again in particular just sounded soooo flat. I believe that from Love Again on she started working with a new mixer? I can't remember an exact time frame. But, yeah, the tracks - even if they were good - just sounded dead and didn't jump off the speakers. Colours was effected by this to a lesser extent though - perhaps because of the foreign production. It will be interesting to see the if this album is mixed by the same guy or not or if she got someone new. It doesn't sound like the same person to me - or maybe he just got a lot better lol.
