I'd agree that Everything Falls Apart sounds stale, but I love those razor-sharp guitars on Metal Circus, Zen Arcade and New Day Rising. To me, that's Husker Du's sound. The WB stuff is clean, but it's just not the same...

I love the way Zen Arcade and New Day Rising sound...

I'd have to say Machina.

Question

Does early Pavement count as having production?

I don't have time for this Mickey Mouse bullshit...

Stuff like Pavement's early recordings, Sebadoh III, and GBV's pre-Under the Bushes work shouldn't count. It was intentionally messy and lo-fi. From all the reading I've done about how Pavement recorded Slanted & Enchanted, I'm tempted to say that it's "production" is actually very well done--every bit of that album was deliberately engineered.

Their most 'produced' album is Terror Twilight and it's no coincidence that it sounds the best.

Terror Twilight sucks.

Slanted and Crooked Rain are Pavement's masterpieces.

Metallica- ...And Justice For All
the production on that album is piss poor.

also
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Californication
the highs on that album crackle and it drives me insane. esp. the high vocals on "otherside" but it creeps in at other times too. what a shame.

I agree--it sounds like Lars is drumming on cardboard boxes.

The foos self titled has always seemed pretty badly produced and wishy washy sounding to me if you know what i mean...

sadly, machina is what i thought of first...then some of the grittier early 80s REM stuff. but that is more the time it was made, not the choice of production.

There are two that I think of immediately. One, And Justice For All, has already been mentioned, but I'm surprised no one has brought up the Stooges' Raw Power. That's the king of poorly produced albums. Iggy and Bowie fucked that one up good and proper, especially in the mixing stages--the levels are all wrong. The remixed version sounds a bit better, but it's worth hunting down the pre-1997 versions of the album/CD to hear just how bad it originally was.

Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" comes to mind. Even the remastered version doesn't really help that much. It sounds so bland. And also "Too Old To Rock 'N Roll" has an awful sound.

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF RAW POWER, ONE PRODUCED BY BOWIE, Z HANDFUL OF BOOTLEGS AND THE BRUCE ****INSON/IGGY POP PRODUCED 97 REISSUE. BOWIES PRODUCTION IS TERRIBLE ON RAW POWER, AND IT IS WIDELY KNOWN AS A BADLY PRODUCED ALBUM.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who considered it a bad produced album. I really don't know why they hired Rick Rubin to put out an album with the crappiest sound. The songs are good, they deserved something better - but they decided to give them this "analog sound".

AZVD.
