Mark;
As a producer, I agree that the snare sound on that is not pleasurable, but perhaps they were going for that generic kind of half-rock/half-electronic that was common in the early eighties? Who knows.... I think that most albums I buy have better drum sounds than that....
Mike

Subject: Why would anyone want a tinny snare drum sound?
Hi - I just received copies of the 2 albums by the Eight Legs. The first CD is great. Their latest one is not quite as good. One aspect of it that I especially don't like, is that some of the songs have a very tinny snare drum sound (I'm assuming that's what it is). Take a listen to a sample, and let me know if that's what I'm hearing:

Having not bought many CDs in the last few years, I'm curious if this is a new trend or not, or just specific to this CD. Thanks. - Mark
