I mean after his production of ten, id expect his resume of albums produced to be massive since ten out of all albums was his breakthrough....but instead he seemingly faded into oblivion..i mean it wasn't because ten was good in spite of his production...was it?

    you have to admit listening to it now ten sounds painfully dated and almost without fail the live cuts of those songs redeem it more than if the band called it quits in 93

    I can't wait until they start putting out some 2 disc anniversary sets.

    Remastered version of the album on one disc and then rare cuts on the other... would be so sweet.

    yah... production wise id say ten is TERRIBLE... could just be the technology available at the time or the fact that it was PJs debut so the label didnt wanna throw down the big bucks... but whatever it was there is a HUGE different between ten and vs.

    i dont get this production bashing of TEN i sounds the way the band wanted it, it sounds llike a 70's rock album with the amount of reverb thrown on everything thats what they wanted at the time its not a lack of production and for me it still sounds the best jeffs bass for one has never sounded any better than on TEN

    yeah well you may say that the production on it sucks, but you have to admit that the mixing involved does give the album a sweet grassroots/indie feel that you don't get on any other pj album (maybe besides yield and no code but thats a different kind).

    PErsonally I love the sound of ten........there is just something to it besides its a classic album

    Yes

    And parashars other big album was dirt right, if not than facelift.
    He gave them a raw but crisp first album sound that makes those albums show there era of music at its best.

    I think the band (or a member of the band) has said that they weren't happy w/ the way Ten came out and basically just used the album for something to tour on.

    Yes jeff.
    But he also has stated since matts arival he changed a lot of the bass riffs, and gave himself a new spirit on those tunes. I noticed he acts all gigly and goes up on the drumriser and makes alot of eye contact with matt.

    and why is he listed in Lost Dogs as "Parishar" but "Parashar" on Ten? Did he change the spelling of his name over the 12 or so years between albums?
