sleepyfrog - You been listening to too many Britney Spears albums or something? The producer has SFA to do with the music or the songs themselves on the album. They take care of how the music comes together, how the production itself sounds. Regardless of what you think of their latest music, I'd have to say that their last few albums have definately sounded pretty damn good.
Other examples of what I'm talking about are Foo Fighters - one by one, and Metallica - St Anger. I loved one by one, but the production of the album was pretty poor. And aside from St Anger sucking anyway, the production of the album itself was even worse than the songs it destroyed. You'd think a band as rich and experienced as Metallica would know a shitty job when they heard it.
But anyway, yeah. Production wise, the albums have definately gone uphill since ixnay on the hombre.
