You say that like it's a bad thing. One of the things I hate so much about metal bands these days is the production. They overproduce their albums so that everything becomes crystal clear and robotic. Metal is supposed to sound a little ugly, if not a whole lot ugly. That's where the evil is.

Two things:

1) the second half of the song was interesting, but the first half was godawful. According to my math, this means the song was - at best - mediocre.

2)I've nothing against high production values in and of themselves, but I certainly don't view it as an asset of such value that it will elevate a **** band to a quality one.

All I can say is Best Metal album ever created = Black Sabbath S/t. How was it made....in a basement in one day for 500 dollars.

IMHO, production means nothing to me

if the band is good, it's good

no amount of less or more production will change that

I understand what you're getting at, but it does make at least some difference. Like listening to Hammerfall with Bathory production just wouldn't work in my estimation.

playing "No Time To Bleed" through my DVD player, as my PC's player seems to be having some problems

it's a less processed sound, and actually sounds better, so this may lend credence to the Bat-mite's argument

the angriest thing I've ever heard is from this Canto-punk-rap group Lazy Motherfuckers called "The Last Surviving Member of a Soon to be Dead Family" (it's actually a lot ruder in Cantonese and you can be killed for using it in Hong Kong to the wrong people)

but it's also funny aggression, I guess
