That can be the case, in terms of backing up 'taste' with some sort of 'objective' technical reality. Production issues are, by and large, issues of taste alone. I'd probably say that a record like White Zombie's Soul-Crusher is well produced, when in fact it just happens to have been produced in a way that I tend to like.
As such I'm sort of contradicting myself here when I still maintain that good ideas on Goo are largely buried under sonic flab. That said, reading Atari's and others comment's about Disappearer, I must've missed something. I've just stuck it on again to check that I'm not mad ... hmm, maybe I was a bit harsh. Looks like my reassessment is in chronic need of reassessment!
