Where's Misery Signals?
I own their first EP, and comparing it to the Dev-produced "Of Malice and the Magnum Heart"-album, it's a whole world of difference even though the soingwriting remains basically the same - it's the sound and the little bits here and there that make it.

Soilwork for me. I wish Devin would have kept on producing them, as they now have the same cheesy "every drum is triggered" sound as In Flames, and a hanful of other bands coming out of studio fredman. Lamb of god was really dirty, but alright, I like the new one's production better, just wish they didn't play the same song over and over...

Other than Devins own work (inc SYL) Natural Born Chaos has the best production of anything I've ever heard.

While I like some of Devin's productions, I really really don't want to have him produce an Opeth record. His style just does not suit into their music at all. Opeth is all about dynamics and a breathing sound, while Devin excels at compressing the bejesus out of the tracks and making it sound huge with a touch of reverb - it is good for other types of music, but not in the world for Opeth.

I haven't really had the chance to hear all Dev's production job's...only his own work, but i did get a chance to hear one of his new projects afew weeks ago. I don't know the name of the band, but they seem to be a Hardcore/Punk sort of band...im sure someone will know what im talking about.

In my opinion he did an alright job...i dont really see Devin doing much work for Hardcore music, but thats his job.

I wish Lamb of God would of gone back to Devin for Ashes of the Wake but it still sounds kickass. As the Palaces Burn is THE OnLY cd i've heard in about 5 years that jumped into my soul that quickly. That cd is flawless.

I read in an interview Devin wasn't that happy with as the palaces burn because he'd never used ADATs before, and he was pulling 14 hour days to try and compensate for using older technology.

Natural Born Chaos clearly kicks arse in this list.

And as for Opeth having Dev do the next album... I don't think its gonna happen. Mikhail has been a huge fan of Steven Wilson for a very long time, I don't think they are going to part ways in a hurry.

Errrr....though you may be right about Dev, the new Opeth album was produced by the band themselves and Jens Bogren. Steven Wilson wasn't involved at any stage, though is still thanked (twice!) in the booklet. Though having said that you can still hear a Porcupine Tree influence in some songs (especially Atonement and Isolation Years).

Nothing wrong with that! As for the list, Soilwork gets my vote, even though the poll is closed. ATPB is a close second though.

I don't really like the sound on As the Palaces Burn.

Are you sure you´ve listened to the correct band?
The drums on Stabbing the drama was recorded by Daniel Bergstrand at Dug-out. He is known for refusing triggers, digital room effects and such. That drumsound does not sound triggered by a longshot!

actually, I think I read somewhere that they recorded the album without a drummer, and used a drumkit from hell kind of thing to do the drums, which is an impressive task in and of it's self, though I may be entirely wrong on that... I didn't know they used god to record them, as they'd stuck with fredman studios for so long. Still when you compare it to Natural Born Chaos there is a world of difference if only in the subtleties.

Meshuggah's Catch 33 drums were completely programmed too. Meshuggah used to program their drums first, then the drummer would go practicing them and in the end the programmed drums would be replaced with the real thing. But for Catch 33 the progammed/sequenced drums probably sounded good enough for the final product. I had no clue of this until I read it on their website. So if it's done properly, what's the problem with 'cheating' through the drums?

they used the drum machine because of time constraints. the drums take the longest to record, and they wanted to use a drum machine for experimental purposes.
