Protection From Editors: Difference between revisions

** Another evidence that Protection From Editors might be a bad thing: the album Let It Be. Phil Spector added much orchestral overdubs and embellishments to the album, much to the dissatisfaction of Paul McCartney who favored a more minimalist production. Years later McCartney remixed and remastered Let It Be... Naked, which has the Spector production stripped down and is supposedly closer to the original artistic vision. However, many Beatles fans strongly prefer the original release, some in fact considered Spector's overproduction to be the saving grace of the album.

* [[Guns N' Roses]] is the musical king of this trope. ''Appetite for Destruction'' and "Lies" sold so well and made Guns N' Roses so big, they were given a lot more control over the follow-up album. That transformed into '''two''' albums, the ''Use Your Illusion'' duo, which saw release four years after ''Appetite''. Sales of that were enough to apparently let Geffen (their recording company) take as long as they wanted for the follow-up album. '''Seventeen years''' afterwards, we get ''Chinese Democracy''. Those three albums are considered to be bloated and very dense, and the latter is essentially one long [[Author Tract]] railing against anyone and everyone that ever tried to stand in the way of the ginger-haired tyrant.
