Recording quality matters?

Dustin Wong song: http://theneedledrop.com/?p=744

Does recording quality matter? Why? Are there instances where it doesn't matter? What's your favorite lo-fi album? Is lo-fi music even good? Can it be good? What's the best production you've ever heard? Is there such a thing as over-producing an album? Can something sound too good? Why? Can you think of an example?

Times New Viking is the best example of good Lo-Fi. Check out "Dancer Equired".

@CanadianChronic2121 Black Metal is low quality.

Quality means shit all. Check out Black Metal for example.

It's all about the attitude to me

Wavves is a good example. The first two albums are super lo-fi. I don't mind that though I think they're just noisy for the sake of being noisy. It was ok for those first two albums but I'm glad they moved away from that. That would have gotten old fast.

Overall I prefer better soudning albums. Examples would be RATM debut, BSSM, Sailing The Seas of Cheese by Primus.

I d'know, aslong as I can hear the music well I'm all for it.

@CanadianChronic2121 I would say The Libertines album has a nice production. Good production is subjective imo. Marquee Moon has a nice production, so does the new Jeffrey Lewis LP, REVIEW IT

i hate perfectionists......

music should be anything besides " perfect " ..... probably why i don't get along with most metal fans =/

[GrungeRockabilly]

A good production can make or break a record, but I do enjoy lo-fi artists alot aswell. Hard to answer really, dunno if I have a preference there.

Low-fi is the best for a good hardcore record!

RATM's debut is constantly cited as an audiophile's favorite
