I really don't like live albums. The sound is always poor, the crowd is annoying to listen to, and the music is pushed so far down into the mix, that the entire album sounds awful. With Live at the Fillmore, this is not the case with dredg, a severely under-rated act after releasing a couple immensely powerful albums, namely El Cielo and Catch Without Arms. While the music is pretty quiet in the mix, it's far from damning because dredg stay true to the studio records - songs like "Bug Eyes" and "Sang Real" are arguably better on the live album than the studio counterparts. In all, dredg create and execute fantastic tunes on Live at the Fillmore, and it's impeccable that they can make the transfer to the live setting with such perceived ease.
