The production of an album is a secondary element. A good song is a good song regardless of the era or how it was recorded. Ocean Machine: Biomech's production complements what Townsend was trying to do, simple as that. If he had done it any other way then it would have been another Type O Negative album and it wouldn't have stood out as much circa 1997 or contrasted with his work with SYL. But when we talk about production, mixing, etc. and what sounds good vs what doesn't sound good...that's where subjective taste comes in, no?

I thought I did a brilliant job responding to you considering your high level of eye rolling snark. If your gonna be contrary after I point that out, then that tells me I'm on a good path.

Albums with excellent production are obviously helped by it, but the compositions have to be good, otherwise it's like polishing a turd.
Another thing: I love how different all these top 50 posts are from each other. I have precisely 1 album in common with Loathsome Pete and seemingly zero in common with everyone else.

Diversity aside, one of the fun things about MusicBanter is you can s
hitpost all you want and at the end of the day they'll all still be here a year later jerking off to MBV.
