i\'m not talking about having it melt my face like it would at a show, but the main purpose in creating a rock record should be capturing as much of that raw energy as much as possible.  i know you all listen to records that have tremendous amounts of energy.  it is the job of the producer to coax that energy out of the performer.  it seems like someone just hit record and said go.  these guys need a good producer.  end of story.  these new songs are just too good to be wasted on a record that\'s not going to kick people in the **** balls.  i think a lot of people have just accepted that the records just wont hold a candle to the live show.  well when people go to the show and pick up a copy of the new record, they should be buying something that is going to remind them of that show they were at, in a more polished and presentable package.  they seem to have gotten polished and presentable here, but hugely at the expense of energy which i think is most important thing.  it just doesn\'t seem like an honest recording here.  i\'m not talking about sound quality.  the tracking seems to have been done right from an engineering perspective, but i\'m just not feeling this at all.  i dont really listen to moxie epoxy or real radio because it lacks the honest drive of the breakfast\'s live show.  this is their selling point, so thats what they need to showcase on what they\'re selling.

ehhh i guess, but why air something to ANYONE who doesn\'t already know your music, if what you\'re airing isn\'t the absolute best you\'re capapble of?
