Not sonic related, but if you remove the CD tray, there is a piece of artwork behind the CD. It is an print of an antique map showing the Pinkerton near China as I remember.

For sure- those are just some reasons why people like Pinkerton. Don't feel like it's your bad taste if you don't. It's a drag to feel like you are supposed to like something or do something a certain way in the studio.

I don't think anyone should HAVE to like Pinkerton. For me, it was one of those records that demonstrated very clearly the difference that engineering can make. The blue record and Pinkerton sound miles apart. I always knew people in the booth could make a record sound different from another guy. Pinkerton, for me, represented HOW different.

Pinkerton is a total touchstone to me. I can see how someone could not like it, because it is RAW and RAWK. I think it sounds like a great band wanting to make and emotional, sonic and musical statement. I'll never tire of that record. N.E.V.E.R.

I pulled out one of my Pinkerton CDs and put it in the car after seeing this thread. I still love every moment. I think part of what it touches me and other musicians is that it sounds like what we THINK our bands sound like in the rehearsal room.

Perfectly said, Tony. And you're right: Pinkerton is a rock musician's rock album. I'm glad that not every album sounds like this. But I'm glad that this one does.

Thanks man. I love and concur with your sentiment.

Absolutely spot on.

Please do.

It's one of my favorite albums. It does sound pretty distorted and dark - and it does give it a different flavor. Goes well with the songwriting IMO.

Pinkerton is probably the most important album of my life. It's the definition of rock music for me, and functions as a starting point for most rock recording I do. Boomy/crunchy drums, quiet vocals, gnarly bass. The only thing I'm not crazy about on that album is the rhythm guitar sounds, but they do function perfectly so I cant be mad about it
