    But I've liked the Kaspar album's better. Pearl Jam sounded less than stellar at moments, but Riot Act sounded amazing, and made me realize they were still quite the potent band. An O'Brien album would be a back step for me.

    Sorry.
    You are just a negative mindless pud.

    Brendan O'Brien.

    Yeah, I'd love to hear him on a PJ album again. He's one of my favourite producers.

    Brendan needs to return!!! His producing is far superior to Adam when it comes to pearl jam!

    You sir, are crazy. No seriously, the band was so disappointed with the sound (not the binaural technique) that they delayed the release of the album, flew to Atlanta and got Brendan O'Brian to fix 7 or 8 of the songs.

    Grievance is the best example of what went wrong with Tchad Blake.

    I think one of the reasons No Code is so special is because of the depth Brendan brought in the prodcution of it. He is a special producer. I also don't think he would have let Ed come out of the studio with the one take vocals he gave on Riot Act. Just listen the layering of vocals on Who You Are or In My Tree. I hope we get him this time.

    Who produced Vitalogy? Was that brendan?


    If so, he's the man.


    Ed's voice is buried and very muffled on Avocado.....on Vitalogy it's not.

    Brendan did Vs. -> Yield. He is the one tha got such a live sound out of them by setting them all up in the room and playing live as opposed to laying down one track at a time.

    I want him back then :D

    Vs - Yield are their best sounding records.....


    Thats been my biggest complaint with Riot Act and Avocado - the production, AVocado especially.

    Ed's voice cuts through beautifully on Vitalogy and Yield especially but is so muffled and buried on RA and Avocado....

    Too bad PJ did record a lot of their stuff one track at a time, especially the Brandon O days.

    We all know the RVM story with dave, his speed, the hole in the snare, sticks against the wall, then the snare over the cliff.

    Certain songs have been recorded live, while others are still one track at a time, especially the radio singles were one track at a time

    and whether or not the band does it one track at a time or not, if there's a solo in the song, it is definately done on a different track at a different time, and sometimes even spliced together

    fair call, i wasnt aware of that but i still think the album sounds great tho especially through a good pair earphones!

    i agree with this all the way...


    Brendan O'brien just might be the best producer of the past 15 years...

    He's produced Indigo Girls, Dylan, Neil Young's Mirror Ball, RATM, Core,Purple, Tiny Music, and 4 by STP, Korn, Springsteen's last three, Trey Anastosio's Shine, Audioslave and many others. He is special.

    Listening to Yield right now.....

    Sounds so beautiful and crisp....the opposite of avocado.....

    Yep, Yield has the best sound of all... best collaboration of songwriting though.

    Binaural has a great sound, I think... how much O'Brien changed it I don't know.

    Riot Act is a little rough but has its moments.

    Avocado production is so-so... Inside Job and WWS are brilliant.

    Ten Vs. & Vitalogy are all great... I don't get a production feel from them though (Vitalogy, maybe).

    I would love it if Brendan O'Brien came back to produce a new PJ album. His work with the band is stellar.

    avacado is a little over produced, but i would say VS is also. But vs is the best album to just blast, the sound quality is better than any other PJ album. in that case, my vote is for brendan

    I think it's hard to argue that any producer's done more for groups than Rick Rubin.

    "Riot Act" was recorded live. I think it sounds great. It has a lean, muscular sound. I also like O'Brien's production.

    brendan o'brien was easily the best pj producer never was sure why they went away from him...if you want to hear how great he is listen to a record by the UK band The Music: Welcome to the North. He produced it and its GREAT!! so its not just "major artists" he can help bring out there great sound!

    by the way is this just a hope that he is producing the album or something that can be cited somewhere?

    I remember reading somewhere that they hired Adam Kasper because Matt suggested him. Kasper produced Soundgarden's last album (Down on the Upside).
