I've never noticed the chucks or clicks before on Someday Soon but now that it's been brought to my attention, I'll probably always hear it.
I just listened to it and it was a little distracting.
I wonder if it's suppose to simulate truck tires as he is driving in tonight from California?
Some songs about cars and trains have a chuck, click, or something to be the rhythm of the road.

Anyone have an old vinyl copy? Is it on there? I never noticed it back in the day either.Doug Beaumier wrote:What I hear on "Someday Soon" is a loud "click" on beats 2 & 4. It sounds like band-in-a-box! Sounds like brushes on a snare and maybe a guitar. Very distracting and annoying. I wonder if that is a later remix because I never noticed that back in the day.

All of the classics were remixed for CD back in the 1980s/90s, and some strange things happened. For example, on the remixed Beatles CDs I heard things that I had never heard or noticed on the original LPs. They probably sound fine to young ears, but I grew up hearing the old LP's and those mixes are forever burned in my brain.

The new keyboards were a big part of the sound, maybe too clear, unless you were newly in love and
everything sounds so clear. There was something in the words at the time that wanted the potential of lush and dreamy.
I have no complaints with Madonna. Yes, they were pushing reverb then. I was in love. I loved it.
That much space in a song, the depth into which to listen.... Is that too much TMI?
It was the silence before pedal steel.
Live to Tell
Imagine pedal steel in place of the synths here
Human Nature
Was it John Quincy Adams produced that?
It was a long time ago....
