    Lolita - The orchestral demo with that sampled bassline is FIRE. The album version is just messy and the definition of overproduced
     
    Lucky Ones - Generally feel like it's not her strongest song but the demo definitely feels less bleak and I love the drums.
     
    Summer Bummer - Not sure whether it qualifies as a demo, but the version with the humming that was uploaded on YT/ is pressed on some of the vinyls is much more fun.
     
    Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems - Album version is basically meaningless and the forced Stevie Nicks feature is terrible.
     
    Next Best American Record - Lyric change kinda ruined the vibe, especially since the new ones are so terribly cheesy
     
    Thunder - The demo had so much more fire. Also, I really hate how poorly mixed the climax part of the album version is.
     
     
    There are some other demos - the Diet Mountain Dew demo with the additional pre-chorus, the e-guitar heavy National Anthem demo, the demo versions for Freak - which I love but where I kinda understand why they did not end up that way on the album. So I probably like them just as much as the album versions.

    Ok, so addressing your two points: 1) The imperfect mixing is intentional to be reflective of the meaning of the album - Moments such as the intro to The Grants with the misspoken lyrics, the sneezes and background noises in A&W, the little guitar licks and small details all over the album ARE intentional and well-done. However, like I just said, these are all small moments that pop up in the MIXING and COMPOSITION. When referring to the poor quality of the mastering and sound engineering, this does not seem intentional or an artistic choice. This isn't a little "imperfection," this is a matter of literal quality and clarity of the tracks on the WHOLE album. The inconsistency and difference in mastering on each track, many having muffled aspects, is just in poor taste, nothing else.
     
    And 2) The "rough sound" and "texture" adding to the aesthetic and vibe of the album. - Yes, I would agree that the tracks, sonically match the overall aesthetic. Even down to the grain/noise used on the album cover, and the low contrast of it. However, just because something fits or matches visual appeals does NOT equate to it being of high quality. Most people can agree that adding clarity and depth to songs is important; it's a whole part of mastering. That is why flat and muffled songs (for best example, Kintsugi) are frowned upon and seen of as lower quality. Because they are.

    Not people saying OB's incoherent mastering is great or an artistic choice 💀 A&W is literally much quieter than any other songs on the album,'s A-side, you always have to awkwardly adjust the volume whrn listening to the vinyl. And then there is the flat sound on tracks like Fishtail, Grandfather or Paris that really impacts these sonh's momentum. The only tracks where I feel like the effect was intentional is Kintsugi and Peppers, fo the rest it's just bad mastering.
