well he has produced some terrible records too..

Album Rating: 4.5

...which means nothing. You don't say someone is not good at what they do based on the bad stuff they've done, especially when the good far outweighs the bad.



I don't get the gripe.

Kurt is generally involved in good stuff but I find that his production often sounds the same on many of the records he works on. Can sometimes feel kinda boring.

check out Mutoid Man

heard it man bleeder is 8/10 but it's kinda got that same ballou production yet sounds sufficiently different because of the non-hardcore style

btw the riff on "gnarcissist" from the EP is one of the best riffs of all time and i think about it like once a week without even listening to the record do you agree that that riff fuckin rockksssssss?

hahah for sure man, it kinda reminds me of hocus pocus, but who cares, it rocks m/

a lot of his best work was done in the 2000s, cant think of much from recently thats blown me away

Album Rating: 4.0

mort but maybe its not the production job that isnt blowing you away



but the mediocre pool of hxc bands that he has recently worked with



he produced some classic screamo and 21st century hipster hardcore when it was at its peak



screamo will never reach that level again
