It's barely any better than the self-recorded demos the band took to London with them from a couple of weeks rehearsal in Athens. I absolutely love the muddy atmosphere of the album though. It's not an audiophile release though at all.

Joe Boyd's production on Fables is not really at a high enough quality level to make it a flawless release
