Bad Moon Rising is perfect for what they were trying for. It's funny, because at the time I read an interview where they were seriously talking about how it was a "slicker" sound, which compared to the 8 track recording on Confusion is Sex, it was. But yeah, it's muddy in all the right ways in all the right places, and the drums sound like ships crashing into each other in the night more than a human keeping time on a kit. I think it is actually their most Branca influenced record in terms of sound and atmosphere, even though they were moving away from him personally at the time.
