Ozma

[AlmightyRetard]

and I also found out a just few days ago that Candy-O is actually a Cars cover ;]

 me too

[anaconda]

i like alot of treble, so i like ozma

I think Ozma is one of the strongest collections of songs they have put out... with something like 18 tracks, killer to filler ratio is probably one of the best...

so the production is less important to me. Its not the best of them all but to me it sounds better thatn GPT (which is why I never understood why some people praised GPT over Ozma... but whatever)

Sometimes production doesnt matter. Like on Ozma.

i dont hate it, but it could be a little bit meatier. i think if it was a louder mix i would be a bit more excepting. overall it's really cool. you can hear each instrument very claerly and no instrument covers another.

yeah I love Ozma, one of my favorite melvins albums.  and yes you can hear everything, the mix is definately clean, even though it's a little flat.  i like how lori turned the treble up high on her bass.  this way you can often hear every note she's playing,and it's audible how good of a bass player she was on "let god be your gardener". .  and i agree what others said, the consistent raw production fits well with the vibe of the songs.

you people are insane, or deaf, one of the two. thats the worst fucking production this side of c.o.c.'s eye for an eye. if there was any way to salvage that tinny piece of shit, i'd be first in line to buy the remaster. it makes ...and justice for all sound like a dub mix.

[DubEMC]

I have to vote in favor since this was the 1st full lenght relase I bought by the Melvins, actually when it was fist released.

I think it sounds fine. There are much worse sounding recordings.

[Huey P. Newton]

i tweaked my guitar to sound pretty much like it hehe.

What did you do?

[Rusty Shackleford]

it's the only album that i don't like the sound of dale's snare.

[rhett E rock]

it's alright.  i would've messed with the drums a little more, but all in all it's good.

He's blunt, but he's got a point.

Seriously, I still fail to see what's just so special about Ozma in pretty much every way. The production's flat, lifeless and tinny and I'm not even sold on half the songs on it. Sure, sure, Oven and We Reach are classics but I find that a lot of the album washes over me without leaving much of a mark. Candy-O was my favourite track on it for ages, and then I found out that was a cover...pretty much says it all.

If Ozma had, say, Stoner Witch's production it might sound more reasonable and alive and I might love it as much as you folks but as far as I'm concerned Ozma just ain't one of the Melvins best efforts.

What did you do?

my amp settings are bass 2, mids 0 and treble 1.5 while getting distortion from a ds1 (tone rolled almost all the way back, but much distortion). the volume on my les paul (bridge pickup) is at 4

Plug a ProCoRat into the front end of a shitty solid state power amp. The guitar sound on Ozma is fine, its the rest of the instruments that sound terrible. I get a fuller bass sound plugging my J-Bass into my 10 watt Vox guitar amp. And the drums....the whole album sounds like Dale is trying to imitate the main drum fill that kicks in the chorus on In The Air Tonite and just not pullin' off the Phil Collins magic. And I do mean the whole album as it doesnt seem as if Dale plays a straight pattern for any more than 2 or 3 seconds. Just drum fills the whole fuckin' way through. Annoying.
