Fletcher, as much as the Alge's mutate somebody's tracks, I have to say that their mixes have usually sounded better and clearer to me than JJP's. Their stuff may be overly bright and overly compressed, but one of my complaints with JJP is that his mixes tend to be too busy, too crowded and it seems like he only listened to each instrument on its own while EQing and compressing, and then threw all the faders up disregarding what steps on what. But that is just how I hear it.
On a side note, I just learned that he mixed a record that I had bought a year ago, and I was playing it in the car and my wife made me turn it off because there was some noise in the mix that was really annoying the fuck out of her. She's never asked me to stop playing anything other than Yes before. (She just can't do prog.)
