If your songs suck, they suck. HOWEVER.

A bad recording (not necessarily noisy but bad as in not fitting the vibe of the songs or genre you go for) can make a good song sound bad.

Didn't know where to post it so I guess I'll just post it in there,
but I just listened to yr album Derek, and it's good stuff. A few drawbacks of course (but nobody's perfect), but it's really a good album. If you want I could review it on my blog

Something I didn't quite put clearly earlier: there's a common misapprehension, often around this forum, that 'a good song is a good song whatever'. In some senses this is true - Beat Happening or Urusei Yatsura, when both were good, wrote some amazing songs that were very lo-fi. But the point of lo-fi wasn't that 'anyone can do anything cheap', it wasn't a liberation of production values, it was an exploration of poor production values. It's like a lot of African music, to me, sounds better when the bass drum is rattling the mic's diaphragm... I'm basically saying that lo-fi isn't a virtue, and should only be used when it's appropriate. Some people spend a lot of money sounding lo-fi.

The production is very important, but the first thing is you have to very clear about the sound you wanted, that's before you go into the recording studio (which it is free). then you should try your best to bring your recording toward that direction. most of the case, the recording is a process of how the capture 100% the sound you heard while you were writing the song / jamming, sometime you got it by change, or you know which mic to use. in most no-budget case, the best recording production is yet to come, but the recording will not turn the good song bad for sure.
