hebbel, i agree wholeheartedly. it sounds like the drums are way back in the mix when they should be way up front, especially in "sleepin around." it's definitely a guitar heavy album, as are most sonic youth records, but that's hardly a reason to mix the drums so far back.
that said, i'm going to wait to make judgements until i hear it on vinyl.
oh and a side note, the general production of the album sounds great, better than the past couple albums. lee's vocals on "rats" remind me of the vocal production on daydream nation.
