Yes please forgive me. But people were making fun of his post like it was stupid or something. I just mean it’s obvious what he’s trying to say. lol opinion police

What’s Trag’s idea of stellar production from PJ?

Anyone know?

Like, which tracks/records?

Sort of half-joking, but, they're not Frank Zappa, Strat. How much musical development do we think is going to happen in that 4:06?
Got this gist.
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Vs/Riot Act

Vs I get.

As a fan of riot act, I’m not sure it’s at the top of the heap for me production wise.
I prefer Vitalogy/Yield in that respect, along w Vs.

For context, to me , yield is the crown jewel.

Riot Act has a great production, very warm, very spacey, the guitar tones are great and the drums have probably one of the best sound from the catalogue.
BONE FUCKIN´ TOMAHAWK.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way he's singing "special" in this song.

Absolutely no reason for him to say "haaaaayyyuuhhhuunnnnd" when he could simply say..."hand."

Good call, this album is apt to be on par with Van Gogh
There are plenty of people who dislike Van Gogh. They are not wrong. I say that as a person who does like Van Gogh. Art is not science.
