Revisiting Jeff’s Heaven/Hell now and I think it sounds great.

Agreed. I do wish Tone was on streaming though.

Seems to be getting new 'unexpected' producers is the latest thing in rock now. We had RHCP go with Danger Mouse, QOTSA went with pop producer Mark Ronson to make the amazing Villains record. very interested to hear what this guy brings to the table for PJ

I don’t get the sense that Josh Evans was brought in to add a strong musical character of his own to the record so it seems like quite a different circumstance to those above.

Right. I get a sense he’s more of a Steve Albini type where he just lets bands do their thing. Like, he understands the band is going for a certain sound/vibe, and he’s not trying to get in the way. He’s just going to do his best to capture it.

yeah this is the guy you get when you want/need to record completely on your own terms, whenever/however you want. for all intents and purposes, this one is produced by pearl jam.

So while I suspect he probably is more of a "I'm here to support your vision" kind of guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he wound up being integral to any synth stuff that may wind up on here. Jeff's synth sounds with RNDM have been fairly basic patches; could be that his mark is on the album in helping the band explore and articulate some new sounds.

yeah that's best case scenario for him here.

1. he's there to facilitate.
2. he's there to add his specific version of expertise via synths or trumpet or whatever.

fingers crossed he genuinely brought something new to the party. he clearly has the confidence of several band members so...

Don't imagine he would be mentioned so early in the press release if he didn't really bring anything to the table

Thats more of a good to do than a need to do

I care about critics and charts so much.

The only good song is the opening track and like you used to do.

this feels more like ‘interim head coach’ while BOB needed to take a breather for whatever reasons

but maybe there will be a RS article or some interview with Keyboard Tech Monthly that sheds some light on why/how he rose from the ashes of CDM to command the entire forthcoming album

VinylGuy · Post by **VinylGuy** » Thu January 16, 2020 12:56 am

Guess, we well know why they chose him when they make the interview rounds.

Maybe a couple of videos like LB? a Danny Clinch video?
