You found an interview where they specifically said that when they were in the studio, they allowed higher levels on NYC and Murray than on ATL? I doubt it. The sound of ATL is MASSIVE. The guitars sound huge. On the next two albums they sound brittle and timid. If "Empty Page"'s intro, for example, had been recorded the way ATL was, it wouldn't sound like someone playing in Guitar Center, not allowed to turn up too loud.
