I can certainly think of many albums I enjoy that fall into the “good songs, bad production” group too, so I don’t think one set of circumstances is consistently preferable to the other, but what you’re saying makes good sense to me.

Ugh.

The horse is so tired. No thank you.

Neil with promise of the real is a different story

Queue the 'covers' album of your own material.

Neil's been reinterpreting his music for years. Even before the archives project he was ploughing out the live albums and to be fair, the definitive versions of his tracks are rarely the original studio versions.

Also interesting to see how many bands are now releasing these reinterpretation albums - Roger Waters and U2 most recently and Beck is working on one too.

I like it. I'd take a PJ album of them rearranging tracks from their catalogue.

That plus Woods production. Hopefully means a better sounding/more cohesive Avacado.

I still hope PJ are going for someone else on their Watt-produced record. Iggy and Ozzy were done by Alan Moulder who I would prefer over Serban Ghenea.

Humour me as I'm an idiot- is mixing essentially just levels?
