BTATS - with heavier production could have been far more powerful. Still find it a bit weak even with the new mixes (though it is greatly improved)

Hosannas could have been far more accessible. The edits were better but I still think it gets a poor deal
Democracy sounds cluttered. Geordie's guitar is not all that great IMO

But generally most albums have been alright.

2003 does sound a little "technical" would have been nice to hear it live, but I think a good song shines through.

I'm playing this for the 1st time in - crumbs -  probably since  
Hosannas came out.

I'd forgotten how good an album it actually is.

Maybe it's hearing it again after so long.
Compared to the muddy production of Hosannas it sounds really fresh.

Hanyhoo, it's got me thinking...
Actually, I'm going to pretend I'm that woman on Men in Trees.
(Yes, I am a girl, but the wife likes it & it reminds me of Northern  
Exposure.)

"Hey Elmo, me & my friend Patrick were just discussing the production  
short falls of the ever unpopular but oh so influential beat combo  
Killing Joke.
Would our affections towards certain recordings be different were they  
produced differently from the outset? Live many tracks take on a  
totally different light.
So my question to you Elmo is: with better production, how many  
Killing Joke albums would we view in an entirely different light?"
