I gravitate more heavily to bands that don't polish the sound they have too much, I like hearing the imperfections or little knacks that give a band their identity, bands that don't want to have that perfect sound. Contrary to other peoples opinions, Bush did not have an extremely polished sound, not to me. All of their albums, especially their first had in my opinion, a very imperfect sound and it gave the record a very appealing charm, I really dug the sound of the recording.

Yeah, certainly seems to be the case, aside from Batlord. All is good. Not everyone can appreciate the same bands.
