In your opinions, are there any metal productions out there which beat out any of these all-timers:
1. In Flames - Clayman
2. Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama
3. Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis
Each of these, IMO, is the best in its own way. Out of all the metal albums I've ever heard, I consider these to be the 3 best productions of all time. Is there anything out there that matches, or comes close?
I know Sweet Vengeance was nipping at the heels of Clayman, but never quite got there. Behemoth's 'Demigod' is crushing, but has too many drawbacks, and didn't quite match the near technical perfection of STD. I haven't heard many of the other Hertz studio productions, but Organic is IMO, both the best technical death metal ever written, and also the best extreme metal production I've ever heard. IMO it's one of the greatest metal albums of all time in every way.
I'm purely thinking of metal here. In rock we've got Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin etc. and the like which were done by Randy and CLA, that slaughter most everything out there.
Disclaimer: I am aware of the existence of Jens Bogren, but his mixes don't do much for me.
