Speaking of Sepultura, Max and Igor (Cavalera Conspiracy) rerecording the early albums has been awesome.

The take about legacy bands sounding worse now because of clean production is absolutely true. I think the pinnacle of metal production was the 90s and first couple years of the 2000s. It's clean enough that it doesn't sound like absolute dogshit, but it also isn't so digitally enhanced to the point it was annoying. Case and point, go listen to the original In Flames - Clayman from 2000, then listen to the re-recording Clayman 2020. 2020 sounds fucking terrible.

They aren't the 3:30 verse, chorus, verse, bridge, outro type songs that are radio friendly. If that's what you like, great! Rock out! But, you need to understand that doesn't do it for everyone.

I'm w/ ya on the production. To me, clean production makes bands sound 'samey'. So many bands have their own sound, but w/ perfect production it's often lost. Once reason I love ...And Justice for All (yes, Metallica stan here) is that it has VERY distinct production and I love its tone and sound. And I know Rick Rubin gets shit on for his production but I think he adds character to songs from like uber-compression or thin/reedy sounding stuff that makes songs more memorable or unique.

[@KaynanDurant]

I think modern production sucks because triggered/programmed drums played to a click and then further edited for any imperfection.

Those two factors remove so much of the tension and dynamics that made the pre digital era of production so much more compelling.
