Indeed, although, I do actually like it on that Beyond album for some reason. Therapy? dabbled with it from time to time too.
That may be because The Beyond's drummer joined Therapy? :-) Yeah, that snare sound can be pretty annoying, though it seems less pronounced on the US version of Crawl. Second album Chasm has a much better drum mix, and should be sought out post-haste (if you can find it online...)
