Also, "overproduction" is a loaded term for me, since it's rare that I ever hear something that is good that sounds too produced. You can't really polish a turd. Albums like So by Peter Gabriel, Use Your Illusion I and II by G n' R, pretty much every Smashing Pumpkins album are great, despite their studio enhancements. "Overproduced" is only a problem with you're trying to compensate for a lack of anything going on musically. Still, I am not a rockist. Pop music is some of the best, most interesting music we have in the 2000s.

I don't see it as a loaded term, if it sounds good, then it wasn't overproduced, just really produced. It's not only a problem with you're trying to overcompensate, because when you play live, if your album was overproduced or really produced, you can't recreate all that live, and the artist/band will sound different/bad.
