Not so much about sound quality as about terrible, overdone production. Bad decisions. It's syrupy to a fault. Seriously, it hurts my ears.

Yes, because everyone loves jumping on the JGuy. I'm sorry if I made this thread all about myself, Romanelli. Can we get back on topic? If nobody wants to and keep arguing with me to the point where everyone blames me for Romanelli's rude comment, then I'll have to fix it myself.

Face Value by Phil Collins. In the Air Tonight was well done, but I could hear the static from the drum machine and I could do wiuthout that.
The Glow Pt. 2 ny The Microphones. Way too much "goooooooooom."
Coda - Led Zeppelin. Enough said.

Dude, do whatever the fuck you want, that's a fine way to listen to an album for the first time legally. Just don't go bitching "This production is terrible", of course it's terrible, you're streaming it at 192 kps.

That;s not necessarily true. When I last listened to Loveless on Grooveshark, the production was amazing. It's because of Grooveshark that the album is in my top 20. Besides, you were the guys that suggested Grooveshark for me in the first place, and now your telling Grooveshark is a bad idea? Plus, Youtube has fantastic quality with the right set of headphones: my Hershey's headphones. I get amazing quality with them. I have for Dr. Feelgood, LZ4, DSOTM, all my top 50 and many more albums. You probably don't think YT and Grooveshark are that great because you don't have the right set of headphones. I'm not the only one who uses YT here, or Grooveshark. So don't get onto me because you don't have the right speakers. YT can have videos with fantastic sound. So can Grooveshark.

Also, I never sdaid "the productoon was terrible." I said I was unimpressed.

Dude, the best quality video on youtube is about 192 kps if I recall. That's pretty bad quality. Actually I just checked grooveshark, that's 192kps as well.

You made the worst post ever. 🫵 So I'll tell you that I'm not impressed with the production of Kid A or Highway 61. Kid A was boring and either poorly or over produced. And Highway 61 was a bit messy, even the first track which is a great track.

Again...you listen to music on youtube.

That's interesting, because my opinion is totally opposite. I still can't like the album, not because of its production (I think the sound is absolutely awesome) but because I'm still looking for the songs. Loveless had both IMO, which made it so good.

agreed. I like mbv, and it's all because of the production.

It's not badly produced. Just nothing in comparison to Loveless, and that sucks considering the vast amount of time they spent doing mbv.

Not sure if the early Oasis albums were ruined in the production or mastering stage, but they sound quite horrid.

Can something be poorly produced when its intentionally done that way? I'm asking this seriously. I'd like to hear what people think, because Lo-fi as a genre was known for the weird production and was one of its key elements. The production of Slanted and Enchanted adds to its appeal, at least for me.

Of course it can, and maybe that was the case with Pavement here. That being said, I totally understand the ragged appeal of Slanted and Enchanted, especially after subsequent listens, but it's often very distracting for me personally.
