I think the production on the album is nothing short of amazing, and I don't 
think anything is really buried in the mix.  Maybe the people making these 
kinds of remarks have a crappy stereo or something or just haven't listened 
to it enough times.  The first few times I heard it a lot of the tracks 
seemed like a pretty big mess production-wise, but now I'm starting to hear 
all the little treasures Tim hid in some of the songs.  And it really 
works...it's like the best elements of the Church as well as people like My 
Bloody Valentine and Radiohead.
In addition, I don't think you can even compare this album to the older 
stuff like BC.  In my opinion The Church seem to have given up that old 
classic rock/psychedelic sound altogether, although that's not at all a bad 
thing.  It's obvious to me, anyway, that they have really settled into a new 
sound and probably won't be making any more albums that sound like Starfish.
