I actually quite like how raw and stripped down this is album is. I think it would have suffered if they'd done the whole overdub thing. Listen to the two 'Cash Car Stars' for example-the better produced one doesn't have the same punch.

I love that you can hear them talking, the hiss of the amps, feedback and all that. It gives you a refreshing sense of hearing them rock out in a room, rather than getting drowned in the synths and overdubs which took the edge of Machina I.
