you said:
an artist reaching their creative apex doesn't always mean the album will be "better" for the listener. the first 3 shonen knife records have shoddy production, rudimentary playing, tentative vocals, and songs that seem they could fall apart at any second. the first 3 shonen knife records are fucking brilliant.
after their 4th record, they got better production, improved their
instrumental prowess, and became much more streamlined and confident in how they brought their music across. and really? those records of tight riffs and clean production are good...but they're not touching "burning farm".
i think you're mixing up creative apex with technical climax.
