As far as the Get up Kids? The best recorded stuff they've ever done was at the beginning of their "Eudora" CD. Their cover of the Cure's "Close to me" is simply superb. Otherwise the best 'album' was the one where they took a break from Ed Rose, "On a Wire". The more "rock" songs (particularly the title track) have some of the tightest bass I've ever heard recorded. The producer (name escapes me at the moment) did a bunch of R.E.M. records...

4 minute mile....recorded by bob weston
something to write home about.....recorded by chad blinman and alex brahl
on a wire.....recorded by scott lit.
3 out of 4 full length were never touched by ed rose.
they bought the studio that Ed worked at. i think he bought in with them but i'm not sure about that.
fact of the matter is, from about 1.5 years ago, and forward to the for see-able future, they will be working with Ed on all their side projects and whatever they are up to. it's pure economics.....and obviously, sound quality is not an issue with this band......IMO, working with Ed is a huge improvement in sonics over anything they have done in the past.
although, chad blinman does make good sounding records and obviously scott lit does too.....which once again leads me to believe that the band, or matt pryor specifically, is the leading force in their overall terrible sound on records.
