Why does Origin's debut sound rougher than later Origin albums?

The 2000 album has a rawer production and less technically polished attack than later releases such as Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas from 2002. That roughness reflects the band's early Relapse period before its sound became even more intricate. [AllMusic](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/origin-mn0001365101)
