I think it’s alright especially by 06 pop punk standards lol I personally love how forward they pulled the bass in the mix.
Hahaha I literally just got to the demos on my play through and thought to myself “maybe they were referring to the demos?” lol different strokes for different folks I’m so glad I got to go to one of the mutiny reunion shows
If you cut like 5 songs off BABE and add the 2 songs they dropped last it would also be a pretty good album
Cure For Apathy, Start The Reactor, Certain, Last American Virgin and Exit Summer are really the only ones I return to but I love all of those
Honestly I love the production on Mutiny! it definitely has more of a live, organic feel than their other records…or any of their peers really.
Never got the hate for BABE. The only song I would cut the pretty cringe Product of The 80’s. The rest of the album is pretty solid IMO. I do wish that they wrote Only Right Now and I’ll Walk It Off to include on this record because that would have been great. Edit: Conditional could also go lol
On Spotify the album sounds weirdly muddy, but the version that I downloaded like ten years ago and still have on my phone sounds waaaay better! Don't know why they never fixed it.
I think my Mutiny files are CD rips from years ago, so it sounds extremely muddled. I gotta check out the Apple version to see if it's any better.
