The songs are actually pretty good on this record, but you're right, the production is absolutely off. Sounds super flat like they recorded at their local music studio

I had to look up who produced this wreck.

Turns out they self-recorded it live at a local multi-use space, and then brought James Sáez in to do some final production.



What a damn shame they didn't actually record these songs. I think there's some bangers on here, if they actually took it to a studio.

I was happy they got back together, but these couple of albums they released since then aren't too inviting.

This band is their own worst enemy. Gonzo had a few fun ideas floating around but the live recording in one take was such a stupid way to kneecap the album. Burn was...a slight improvement but the songs themselves were kinda lifeless. I think this is yet another bounce back in the right direction in the songwriting department and closer to the insane highs of Church of Rock n Roll, but the production is horrendous. It sucks all the life out of it in the worst way.

I don't understand how such a vibrant and jubilant band can settle for this level of awful production. There is sounding better live than on record and then there's sounding like a completely different band. I seriously question their level of hearing for letting this out into the world

The entire appeal of the band was their energy. This just feels so bland and lifeless.
