RIF's digital recording - can you hear the difference?
So, I like RIF - it's not a classic but there are plenty of decent tunes on it. But from the first time I heard it, I thought the production was a little...soft compared to most Manics albums. Then I heard an interview where the interviewer mentioned that the Manics record on analog tape rather than digitally, and James indicated that this wasn't the case for RIF. And it clicked with my initial impression of the production compared to the likes of Postcards and Futurology. Or maybe it's my imagination. What do you all think?
