Cool... Reminds me of Sabbath in the early days. :P

Speaking of Sabbath - Born Again was rather awful in terms of production. It also had one of the ugliest album cover ever. Not as a Sabbath album, but I like it nonetheless - some of the songs, anyway...



Hotter Than Hell by Kiss was equally ugly, and sounded even worst... But Parasite was a cool song.

Yes quite like Born Again...I have that on tape somewhere 


DJ Shadow's album "Entroducing" from the 90's was another favorite lo-fi album, all done with a Akai MPC60 MKII using 12-bit samples, some of which weren't the best....and the mix was often very muddy in parts, but boy what great music...Midnight In A Perfect World....

Does 'Beautiful Freak' by Eels quality? I love that album.

Now there is a blast from the past...I still have that record here!!!

Some early Depeche Mode probably qualifies for me.

Great album, but it sounds like it was recorded in a toilet. Even the remastered CD version is awful.
 
 

I don't think that's the recordings fault Steve, when I saw them live they sounded the same....

Motorhead in the head?

This fits well with a question I was gonna ask anyway.......
 
Mrs Paulo recently bought me compilation album that contains Joy Division's "Love will tear us apart".  Sounds like I mixed it in on my first day in Sonar . Did it always sound bad, 'cos it sure does now ?
