Producers
KharBevNor:
I can't imagine a good few of my favourite albums (Burzum - s/t, Wyrd - Huldrafolk, Ulver - Nattens Madrigal: Aate Hymne Til Ulven I Manden, Immortal - Battles in the North etc.) working with good production. The shite production gives them a certain raw, insanely powerful quality that makes them: The buzzsaw forest-metal vibe of the Wyrd and Ulver, and the cold, distant sound of the Burzum, with the vocals sounding like someone screaming trapped under ice, the frosty crunch of the Immortal. Fantastic. Of course, in Burzums case at least the production is as calculated as anyones: Varg deliberately recorded the material with the 'wrong' equipment: He talked around people he knew in bands, getting their recommendations for amps, guitars, etc. then used the opposite. And a bloody brilliant idea it was too.

Who was it that said they did vocals in a backyard with an SM57..Black Flag, maybe?

I was going to say that this is almost always a conscious decision on the part of a good producer who knows what a record should sound like. I mean, little old me - with a budget of a student on a government loan, can add auto tune and chorus and crystalline compressors to a recording that I make. Any band with enough money to go into a studio can overproduce if they so please.

Kai hit the nail on the head. It's funny, and I like the characters. That's like saying I can't have any friends who like indie music, but I'll have you know that my best friend likes indie.

Exactly. A great deal of albums wouldn't work with good production. Most Dylan albums are recorded straight live and have little if any production. Rise Against sound like they recorded live in a cardboard box, and it suits them.
