Both of those albums have similarly balls drum sounds.
How can I describe it? It's not a *constant* thing with the band, but I stopped listening to them in the early 00's because it might as well have been. There are, admittedly, some songs on Around the Fur that have a more palatable, traditionally thrashy drum sound. But most of what the band released features drum sounds that would be completely at home on a Limp Bizkit album.
Limp Bizkit! I'm serious! Abe Cunningham is worshipped by fans, but I think a lot of engineers think the drums sound like shit.
It sounds SO stereotypically "pro-toolsy"... A lot of hard rock bands sounded like this at the time. Inorganic as hell. The snares are way too tight, the hits sound truncated. It's a very polished sound... like the 00's version of those "wet wet drums" of the 1980's hair metal bands.
Incubus (they still a band?) were big fans of that godawful tribal metal drumming too. I don't get the appeal.
