positive are the ideas and Mr. Rubin both has brought back to the studio. But there's two thumbs up. From a producer with the Vita expected to hang off the first two albums? Yes and no! Mr. Rubin has certainly a sense of the modern. But nothing more. Overproduced called something well. Gates and compressors are "too much" ... the ongoing "left 8th" is too much for me. Nevertheless, I think the song ideas for great and VLT. see the two again "a closet" and the earth for your songs
