Your friend is sort of right... it is fake in the sense that recording engineers put a lot of work into making it sound like that... but it *is* what the album is supposed to sound like.

The fact that it doesn't usually sound that way in a bar or rock concert or concert hall (without the audio processing) is kind of irrelevant... although anyone who has heard ELP performing Tank live (or Heart / Mistral Wind, or any of a bunch of other examples) knows that sometimes it *does* sound just like that in the concert hall.
