This was discussed/trashed recently, but I just listened to Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" for the first time since probably it came out, and I can't believe people bought that record. Its sound literally makes me physically ill. I guess people like working with Glen Ballard, but Jeez, shouldn't a producer take some accountability for the sound of what they work on?

I can't let this go. So many urban myths have been built around this record, it gets hard to separate fact from fiction.
But here are the facts as told to me by Francis Buckley, the guy who engineered the record.
The ADAT stuff were demos, nothing more. Then, the record co. decided to run with it. They were intending this all to be re-tracked in the future. There's more, but out of respect for Francis, I'll leave it at that.
Go listen to Glen Ballard's total body of work. Then give me a critique of his work.
If you're going to trash someone publicly, I suggest you get straight on the facts.
Cheers,
