I have mixed feelings about Hatebreed's Under The Knife. It's the first Hatebreed album I ever bought, and I was very disappointed upon the first few listens. It was obviously recorded at somebody's house. But through further inspection and with a growing knowledge of underground music, it lends a certain charm in the fact that an album with such crap sound quality sold so many copies, continues to sell copies and got Hatebreed's foot in the door and led to their success.
I just tried to listen to a copy of The Nihilistic Spasm Band that my sister's boyfriend sent me. I'm not sure which album it is, but it sounds like ****. I had to turn it off after a few tracks.
I also heard terrible things about the over-production on Chris Cornell's Scream. Personally, I haven't listened to it, and I don't intend to. Just wondering if any of you have any opinions on it.
