First of all, "Rain On Tin" is amazing. I loved HURRICANE FLOYD when it came out, so I was excited to hear bits of "Choir Boy" seap into "Rain." And the interplay betwixt the guitars in that song are some of the Youth's most impreessive.
And you can try to be all Calvin Johnson and say the 'production' is irrelevent, but it's basically the most important part of Jim's input on MURRAY ST. You can act like a producer/engineer/recorder/whatever doesn't matter, but there IS a certain sound to MURRAY ST, a lot like Jim's influence on Wilco's YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT.
