I did always think that TMS had a bit of a strange, overproduced sound. Kind of like everything mashed together too much. It worked a bit though; made it sound more ambiguous and dream-like in a way, but it took away from the heavy-ness of it.

I felt like it kinda took that "we're just mashing things together in Fruityloops & we don't really know what we're doing but it works because of sheer manic energy" vibe of Odd Future & other indie hip hop acts, cleaned it up a bit, & to that extent the heavy clipping kinda makes sense

Ha, yeah. But Exmilitary didn't have that same we-recorded-this-under-a-sheet sound. There was something real weird about the equalization/mastering on TMS. It's not in NLDW either.
