For what it's worth, this quote from Thurston in the Confusion is Next book sort of confirms that the band itself weren't happy with the production on the Goo album:
'... those demos are preferable in a way, just because that's the feel that we were into and that's more us. The finished album is what it is - what are you going to do, re-record it?'
Taste is ultimately subjective, but if a band complain that the production on their record isn't what they wanted, then it's fair to say that you aren't hearing what the originally wanted you to hear.
