Reply to comment by FuzzDealer in Live albums that you love by Schism-spiralout

I’m the opposite. I think their first two albums were amazing and I’m not a big fan of Budokan

The production of those albums puts me off - I don't think either Jack Douglas or Tom Werman managed to capture the band's energy or get their sound right in the studio. At Budokan is the one where everything falls into place for me: the production's more direct, the guitars properly power pop, the rhythm section has more oomph, and you can't beat the enthusiasm of those screaming Japanese teenagers in the audience. XD

Agreed. At Budokan is overrated. First four studio albums are top tier.
