Fall Out Boy - Colorado Song (Fan Studio Remaster)

This is a fan studio remix/remaster of the unfinished demo "Colorado Song," by Fall Out Boy. Released in 2023 as a vinyl exclusive bonus track on the 20th anniversary edition, this track is considerably rare.

With it being a demo, and also being an exclusively vinyl track, the quality of available rips on the internet is mediocre at best. Furthermore, there is virtually no mixing, and just poor recording quality anyway. I wanted to see how close I could get this demo to sounding like an official song off of "Take This To Your Grave."

I started by separating each instrument, and then enhanced each one, using some different algorithms. After that, I imported everything into my DAW, and mixed everything using a few tracks from the album as a reference. The snare and kick were pretty dull and flat, and the cymbals were borderline inaudible, so I really tried to make them sound more present in the mix.

Even though the vocals are clearly unfinished and the rip itself is a little out of tune, hopefully this demo is a little more listenable now. Should they have completed this song? Should I do Jakus song next? Let me know what you think!
