The mixing was very detailed. I put this record up against many others for comparison. Please do the same. You might be surprised if you understand full dynamic range.
It is not smashed and Ted Jensen added very little eq.
The record will go platinum next month in the USA, Its Gold in the UK and Gold In Canada.
I am ok with this. Paramore are going to be ok.
If anyone wants to have an intelligent conversation about it I am open. Can we please lose the "I wanna bang Hayley" stuff first? I thought his was a forum for engineers and mixers, not pedophiles.
The band worked very hard on this, the drummer Zac was 15 when he played on this, and everyone else was 17, they also wrote the whole record. Some of you guys need to chill out.
If I can help with any intelligent conversation please do not hesitate to ask me, I welcome all ideas and respect everyone's opinion always.

Thanks for posting and we'd love to get some insight on this album.
I know that when I heard the single on MTV about 6 months back, the first thing I thought was "the production on this album is awesome". One of those things you can even pick out on the TV speakers. Love the drums personally... the snare is intense.
I haven't heard the whole album but the single "Misery Business" is great and one of the few modern pop tunes that caught my attention recently.
Couple questions:
1. How much drum editing did you have to do. Quantized? Sample replaced?
2. Was the album tracked to digital or tape?
