[kj] New Stooges

Interesting comment about Albini dulling the inherent chime.  I'm no muso, but it doesn't sound that way to me on (say) Kerosene or most of the tracks on The Hammer Party.
 
Tell me about L Dopa, Alex.  I don't think I've heard you on the subject.

I was sorry to read that Albini was handling the production (or 
"recording"...sorry, Steve). I can't say I've ever appreciated what he's done 
for bands -- the finished product always sounds so blunted and muddled. I hated 
what he did to SEAMONSTERS by the Wedding Present (a band I'm sure many of you 
despise to begin with). He dulls the inherent chime of a guitar. And I wasn't 
especially wowed by his work on Murder Inc.

And, y'know, "L Dopa" was a big Killing Joke ripoff (as I've labouriously 
pointed out before).
