Eh. From the stuff that i've heard from this guy, he's not anything spectacular. No albums where I would go "wow, great production". Hopefully he can pull this off.
Purely in terms of sonics, he's a great producer. If they want a relatively stripped-down sound that doesn't sacrifice anything they'll get it from him.
For some reason i'm not really excited for this. I don't know, I really didn't like the two songs they played on tour, and I haven't listened to them for about a year. I don't know...
