The UK version is flat and lifeless, but much more cohesive than the US version. The individual US tracks sound much better, but as a whole the album is a mess. It basically sounds like songs were given out to different people with the remit of 'make this sound better' and with no knowledge of what the others were doing. The whole album should be mixed as Modern Girl and Surf's Up are. Then it would be awesome.
In fact all of Meat's pre Bat 2 albums should be taken apart and remixed with today's technology. They could all sound so much better.
