Which albums are you talking about? Because all their albums are well produced, apart from the first maybe ("Lonesome Crow", which I cannot listen to at all). Even the 2nd, "Fly To The Rainbow" sounds great. I admit I had troubles with "Love At First Sting" and its special sound for quite a while, but the production is still good.

"World Wide Live" and "Live Bites" (apart from the two disgusting studio tracks) are great live albums, "Tokyo Tapes" has its charms too. So many great songs this band has produced, if I would start to count them I'd be sitting here untill tomorrow.
My favourite albums are from the 90s btw, the mostly overlooked "Face The Heat" and "Pure Instinct" (which is their "These Days" - released 1996, mostly melancholic, acoustic driven songs, not to be featured on their setlists anymore).
