It’s kind of stunning actually that the music could be so good and the production so awful
This sounds interesting.
Imagine a nasty, scuzzy, vaguely psychedelic blues rock record except it sounds like lightning bolt mixed with a black keys record.
I see. I'll tread carefully.

Trag’s not wrong. Bet it sounds great on AirPods though.

I don't know what you are talking about.
Is this like a "The Woods has bad production" thing?

Yeah, I get these comments. Great album, let down.

This album feels like an album I've been missing; something I've been waiting for for a long time. It's satisfying on every level, to me. The production is a part of that. This thing is such a fantastic concept record. The production enhances that. It's all a part of the piece as a whole and adds so much to the listening experience. I can't imagine trying to divorce the production from the songs.

Yeah I really don't know what the hell these guys are on about as far as the production goes. It sounds the way it sounds because that's the way they wanted it to sound.

I feel vindicated. Which is not to say "I'm right and others are wrong." It's entirely a matter of taste. But I'm glad that someone whose tastes I often agree with also agrees with me here.

WaPo: In your ear buds, Sturgill Simpson’s new album is a drag. In person, it’s a triumph.
If he's someone whose tastes you often agree with then....

I’m curious to see durd’s year end album list, because it seems like he has about eight #1s so far.

I would say that not sounding like 99% of rock records or mixed for earbuds is kinda the point of the album and its message.
