It doesn't matter who produces the album! The Hip are the Hip. It's not like he's writing the music for them -- the album will rock because that's what they do. No producer is going to make a band who's been around for 20 years all of a sudden suck! No worries! In my opinion, at least. And if the album is badly produced, the songs will still rule live. And that's really why we're all here.
