That guy needs to fuck off.
There's a much warmer, real, less plastic band under the hood somewhere that I hope surfaces again. I'll take a different production over his polished turd slinging any day.
Gotta go to bed... but these were certainly interesting.
You're forgetting about how this album ended up sounding..

Sure the final album sounds harsh but there execution of the "return to form PJ for the live experience" is basically what they delivered. No matter the quality of the end product, what they set out to do with ST and BS, they succeeded

I'm hardly a noted fan of Brendan O'Brien's work on the last couple of records but I feel obligated to point out he had nothing to do with the self-titled record.
Any decisions made during these sessions rest entirely on the band's shoulders.
Ah, nice. About to take a listen. The guess here is that some of these, including the other recent leaks, will appear on another Lost Dogs. Look what REM did - it released all of those "rare" tunes; could see PJ doing the same.
