That's funny, the quirky production is one of my favorite things about the album. In terms of production and style I see it as a bit of a precursor to one of my favorite albums,
Gub by Pigface, particularly since Martyn Atkins was involved in both.
One thing I will say about
This Is What You Want... though is that that side 2 is stronger than side 1. "The Pardon", "1981" and "The Order of Death" are my favorite songs on the album, and all on the second side.
