After being so used to the clear-sounding Mirror Man Sessions versions of most of the songs it's a bit weird hearing the Strictly Personal mixes again. Some of the stuff I don't mind, like the strange heartbeat put over a track, but man sometimes the sound is crazy weird. I forget how the CD sounds, though. Maybe it's better. Or maybe I'm just spoiled when it comes to album production. 
Does anybody feel Strictly Personal is underrated? I think it might grow on me as I give it more listening. |
no, i don't think it's underrated
if anything, I feel it totally unrepresentative of the Cap's sound and he felt the same way about it as well
for what it's worth, it is a "step" in the development towards Trout Mask
