you might be right. interesting discussion - for many of you guys where totally impressed by the "production" of the eternal, and evan where talking about nurse and murray sounding too flat and all - and know people think the other way.
edit: to me, the production of murray, nurse and nycgf is perfect. but this does have to do with the music itself: you can hear more what i could call singing notes, more the quality of the tone in those albums, and the production fits to that. but how could you produce the eternal, if there are no such qualities in the writing, if you have only a chord following the bass up and down? you will do what they did, or, make it sound more raw like pitschfork.tv did. a production-style like murray or nurse is not possible, since you dont have all this interesting melodie-fractures, and none of the semi-acoustic-blues-guitar-sound in it. doesnt mean its worse, its something different - but listen to farm from dinosaur jr. thats good sound for that kind of music.
maybe they evan compressed the whole album after recording it. and this leads to another problem: the single songs from the album could all easily have introduced a single record, but they dont fit together on one record.
