[Brother McDuff]

the original mixdown that the boys did themselves was really dark and muddy. and while Zdar’s mix was a large improvement, i also feel like the sub frequencies are a little out of control, and unnatural. that was likely by the boys’ request though, and a result of them recording it themselves. i think Zdar was ultimately called in on a rescue mission to try and squeeze the most he could out of the raw tracks. likely why it sounds so compressed too, and the low end so manufactured sounding.

all and all, one of my lesser liked records of their’s from a sonic standpoint. it was gratifying to hear Adam express his respect for Mario in the book, and admit they would have been better off enlisting him on later projects.
