However, his style is such that I probably wouldn't want him to produce DMB. DMB would be better with a jazz producer who just turns on the mics and says go and occaisionally, "I think you guys can do better."

Finally, while Lillywhite is another one of my favorite producers and I do wish DMB would work with him again, but just so you could see that DMB's current direction has nothing to do with him. Of course, many of you wold probably say, "well, Steve just flopped on this one". I guarantee that Lillywhite would not make you happier and he would not give the sound of those three albums. It's all about DMB. They have changed. Furthermore, so has Steve. Listen to Mraz's Mr. A-Z. It's compressed and pop oriented, just like Stand Up. The industry has changed too. Lillywhite used to be a analog tape guy, now he's doing digital with Pro Tools. It's different game now. Plus, not only have DMB's members matured and like different things, with their status, no one wants to tell them off and say I don't like this. As someone who has worked in the industry and spent time with producers, trust me on this. The only people who can change DMB's sound are the band themselves.
Don't you think a producer's role goes a little more in depth than that. A producer is like another member of a band or there would be no producers, just techs. You need an outside, semi-biased opinion to toss around ideas. They band should most definitly have the final say but a producer is uselss if he just chimes in everyone now and then.

    You're right, the role of a producer is much deeper than that, although every producer is different. A jazz producer is a very good idea though, I definetly think they should be looking for one (and I mean jazz, not r&b).

    I like to see Brendan O'Brien work with DMB on their new album. He has worked with Springsteen, Incubus on their new one, Trey's solo effort, Train, and Graham Colton Band recently. He has also produce some of the great albums of the last 20 years, STP's Core, Pearl Jam's .Vs and Vitalogy, and RATM's Evil Empire.

    Not a knock on either entity as separate beings, but a DMB-Rubin collaboration is more likely than not another disaster in the waiting. Let's avoid this.

    If he produced the Fly himself, its not a half bad idea for them to self produce...I was really impressed with how that song turned out.

    Whoever produces Sieges Even should have a go. That type of sound would be very interesting with DMB.

    It's not up to Steve, unfortunately. He'd do it in a second, if only for the money (and that's not actually the only reason, obviously).

    daniel lanois or steve lillywhite. if they worked with either, we'd be guaranteed a good album..or at least one that doesnt bore me.

    Your first part I totaly disagree with. I think Rubin is a wonderful producer. He does not work just within the hard rock/rap world. I don't know if he's be a good fit with dmb, but it would be interesting to see what would come out of it.

    Your second part I totaly agree with. I would be soooo excited if Lanois was to produce the next album. That would be my pick.
