Here's hoping they NEVER self-produce an album again. TATH is one of their worst sounding albums by far. The drums sound so bad on that album, and that's half the battle for good production. I'm hoping they work with Daniel Lanois someday.
Just my opinion but I honestly like the drum mix on a few of the songs on TATH....but not ALL of them. I record (home studio) and have recorded dozens, probably hundreds of tunes (in other studios) and yes...the drum mix is usually quite a battle getting it right...or right for the song. If I can knock Bob Rock a little (and I honestly like most of the production on WATS) I don't care for some of his drum mixes on this album.... a little too generic 90's/early 2000's sounding on some of the rockers (LIAF,honey, exact, struggle). I do like the drum mix on MM, Coffee girl and a some of the others. I do agree 100% that Lanois would be a great choice to produce a Hip album.

They worked with Lanois' protege Mark Howard on Day for Night (not to mention working with Daniel himself on the charity single "Land" from the '93 ARA tour). I'd say it's a definite possibility that they could hook up with Lanois on a future album. It would certainly be cool to hear the results.
