Sevendust – Home

Front cover art is pixelated, back cover art is a bit worse. But that doesn't matter when the sound quality is this good! Nice heavyweight vinyl too.

Someone please message me if they have a copy for sale!

This sounds really great to be a boot. Very fat low end clean sound, good separation and a ton of punch. Considering we will most likely never see official presses of this or Seasons or Animosity, I hope whoever pressed these gets ahold of those other two. You can still pick this up from Death13ss (Deathless) Records.

Looking for a copy of this!! Message me if you're selling!

dumb that these get taken down. if anyone has a copy for sale, message me.

One of the best sounding unofficial pressings I’ve ever heard, hands down! Very nice production on this one. Sounds clear and balanced.

Seconding the plea for Sevendust—and/or whomever has any say in the matter—to pleeeease release this album on vinyl!!
Or DVD-A, dualdisc, HDCD...etc.. I think I kind of prefer DVD-A over vinyl, actually because they're just easier to rip, but either way...the fact that this band has released a handful of their newer albums, but not "Home" is laughably absurd. I don't wanna talk too much shit about Sevendust's music here. This ain't about bashing them. I love Sevendust, and I'm thankful for great music that they've written...namely their first 3 albums; especially the first 2, and most especially this album: Home.

Sure, my assessment that Home is Sevendust's best album is ultimately a subjective statement, but I think there's parameters
by which one can assess and/or even measure the quality of a work of art with a degree of objectivity. I say this as musician myself; multi-instrumentalist 22 years, and producer for 3 with good deal of theory under my belt, and more generally, an obsessive music fanatic. Home was Sevendust's best album by far, even compared to the other 2 of the first 3, although I think those were great as well, but if you put "Home" up next to "Seasons," it's night and day, and the reason is fairly simple: it's the songwriting. Now breaking down and quantifying what I mean by that might be less simple, and might require some jargon, but I'll try to give one example that's hopefully digestible enough, while going beyond just saying something like 'they had way more soul on this album' ....which they did lol. But a more quantified, sort of objective example: just look at the vocal melodies during the chorus of...probably any given song on "Home". If you play or sing music yourself in any capacity, you'll notice that Lajon sings (beautifully I might add) multiple notes lol....I know...groundbreaking, right? Might sound like a low bar but compared to later albums.... I remember really trying to get into "Seasons" and "Next" earnestly. I thought they might grow on me. I'd hear a cool riff here and there, but they would just kinda fall flat when the rest of the song wouldn't go anywhere except for a massive snooze fest whenever a boring chorus when come around. It felt as if the bands process was...find a good riff, groove...etc....and then go ahead and get the rest of the song out of the way—I'll just sing this ONE note for the chorus..maybe I'll just stretch that one note out so it takes up more space...are we done writing that song yet? It just all feels..kinda effortless, frankly; and of course, I don't mean that in the complimentary way that that word is usually contextualized. I mean it feels like they quit trying after "Animosity"

But in contrast, I think "Home" actually was sort of groundbreaking, or at the very least, it was one of the best albums of the entire Nu metal subgenre—and of this era if you will—when nu metal sort of reached it's peak/full realization/maturity (1998-2001ish(?)). I think in some ways it was exception in that capacity, too. Absent on this album—as far as I've noticed—is the more sort of whiney lyrical content that we might associate with nu metal. I could try to go into more detail about why, but the clearest way I can say it is just...they were writing much better songs here; more thoughtful, interesting, emotionally raw, more soul...etc. Another element I like on this album, is the layers of instrumentation, and the mixing; particularly the layers of effect-laden guitar; certainly not unheard of in Nu Metal, but composed and mixed exceptionally here. I also love the way the bass guitar sounds on this album; it cuts through in the mix with a unique tone, and gives this album a uniquely heavy sound....which is why we need this album in vinyl! or DVD-A....any format 24bit 96khz or higher will do IMO, but an HD version of this classic should exist for the public to enjoy.

Also if anyone in Sevendust ever sees this comment and feels like I've been talking mad shit here...don't lol. I meant everything I said, but I'd also say the same thing about countless other bands with regard to stale songwriting. IMO, if a band/artist manages to write ONE really solid album, then I think you've done a service to humanity. Sevendust gave us three bangers...now just give us an HD version of this! and Animosity while you're at it lol

Vinyl this once and for all please.. Four more songs

Mine comes with the live bonus disc. Does anyone possibly know how many of this bonus disc were produced with the release of this album? Interesting how only "some" were included with this.
