Come on, we've all come across them, albums where the enjoyment of the musical/artistic content is either ruined, or seriously undermined because the production engineer seems to have had one too many in the pub at lunchtime.
Post your contenders here; artist, album and why it's so bad. Also feel free to praise any that you feel are exceptionally good.
My opening contribution:
BAD: Manic Street Preachers - This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours.
WHY?: Thin, screechy and obviously mixed for sounding 'ok' out of devices with no treble or bass, i.e. radios, car stereos etc.
GOOD: Notting Hillbillies - Missing.... Presumed Having a Good Time
WHY: Great dynamics, soundstage and acoustic detail.
