I agree, Ive never liked over-produced music that sounds too 'polished'.
It actually makes it less attractive to my ears AND easier to forget. If a quick
mix moves you then keep it and save it and if you tweak it then keep the early
mix saved and if you can better it then fine but I find the
more you listen over and over during a session can make us change things
that doesn't need changing. Enough rambling, but I agree. The human ear
dislikes perfection and favors subtle variation. At least imo.
