Yeah not to mention the producer Stephen Harris(on BS) seemed to not push the band much. From what I have read of his postings on DMB web pages he sounds more like a fanboy than a producer. I think DMB just felt comfortable with him as he played engineer for Lillywhite. I just felt that alot of the songs on Busted Stuff had excellent potential but lacked any energy at all. Like you said it felt like the band was just going through the motions. I think they tried to appease the fans too much with that release and alot of fans really didn't care for the feeling of the record.
From what I have seen on the videos on DMBBand.com it really appears as if Marc Baston pushed these guys around. As a guitar player and fan of music I believe it is important to have that person there pushing you forward. I love American Baby, the Sax jam at the end is very reminiscent of something off of Crash. Dave also keeps confirming my suspicions of his metamorphisis into Peter Gabrielle(A GOOD THING) with his vocal tracks. And Carter's playing at the end is extremely solid and cocky something I have only really heard in concert.
I just wish we could get Before These Crowded Streets on an SACD. That album is BEGGING for a multichannel mix. The production that went into that album is amazing and still stands as my favorite DMB album.
