Mosby</a>: Here here. Those songs sounded top-notch in the live setting--which is a good thing, as Bruce and the band played about 10 songs from <i>Magic</i> when I saw them last fall. On record . . . flat as fuck. O'Brien did make some good records 10-15 years ago--a few Pearl Jam ones, Michael Penn's <i>Resigned</i>--so it's possible he just doesn't know how to handle such a large band (physically and sonically). It just ended up sounding <i>small</i>.</p> @D.R. Mosby: Here here.

(So at least part of the new album is bound to sound like crud.) In concert, the songs from <I>Magic</I> really came to life, so I put the blame for <I>Magic</I> on Brendan O'Brien's rotten production - the guitars are so flattened out you can barely make out the chord changes.</P> Apparently there was a significant amount of material recorded during the Magic sessions that didn’t make it onto that album, so it’s quite likely that some of those songs will end up on the new one.

If that's O'Brien's fault, then yeah, one more reason for tossing him over the side.</p> Let’s also hope he fixes whatever made Magic sound (sonically) shitty.
