I think they did this album this way very deliberately to make a point, although later on they would go for the "big sound" and it often has worked against them, I feel. My favorite stuff by them and Bob in general is when it has that low-fi i-made-this-in-my-bedroom charm.

Why on earth would you re-record Bee-Thousand? Why would you even contemplate it. If it aint broke don't fix it! Im failing to understand why you are pointing the obvious out? Eurrbody knows this record is supposed to sound this way. Btw the sky is blue, ya know that?
