I think Pierced From Within's production is, by chance, suited. But good? Far from it. It is extremely thick and muddy...drums are unclear, bass is all over the place but generally too loud.....it just happens to be one of those bad productions that has come to suit Suffocation's brutal style and mood, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was through accident rather than intention.
The bass on Pierced From Within is obtrusive and more an annoyance than an instrument. Effigy of the Forgotten showcased the ideal production that Suffocation should exhibit.

I actually found Effigy's production to be lacking as well. Despise the Sun and Souls to Deny are the only albums with any good production at all, IMO.
