Oh my goodness, I love the EPs, too. I think the production really gave R&C a pristine sound - now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the grungy, garage rock sound - but it took away from the vocals and underlying musical patterns, imo. This is one of the only times I will say the production helped - not like they needed help!
My favorite band of all time, Alkaline Trio, released their new album "Crimson" and the production on that album made me want to shoot my fvcking face off. So, I am well aware of the dangers of professional production... man, I love Robbers and Cowards so much, it is already in my top 10, and possible top 5 favorite albums of all time.
