Re: Amazing albums with garbage tone
I dig the sound of Tooth and Nail, don't get the hate for the tone/production, it's sharp and has bite.
Stay Hungry, on the other hand, does sound weak, i can see why the band re-recorded it (Still Hungry), though I didn't bother getting the remake.

Bands re-record stuff they did with Werman thinking it is going to come out better, and it magically never does...as if he brought something that the band itself does not have.

Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
Dokken - Tooth & Nail
I enjoyed songs on both of them but both didn't sound quite right to me, especially in rhythm guitar tone. George made up for it on T&N in that his lead tone was so good.
Also, Krokus - Change of Address, which just sounded soft and padded on all the edges. It's odd since they found a tone that really suited them with Tom Allom on "Headhunter." And then they never went back to that.

Cheap Trick hated Tom Werman's production on their album "In Color" that they re-recored the entire album with Steve Albini.SchenkerFan wrote: ↑Wed Sep 10, 2025 11:39 pm And I definitely blame Tom Werman. He may have been a good pop producer, but he completely neutered heavy metal bands.

Re: Amazing albums with garbage tone
Part of the issue with Tooth and Nail is that the overall sound is just really low. It is one of the weakest sounding metal releases I own.
