I'm not really a fan of the production and mixing to be honest. The prouduction is quite muddy and the mixing leaves Cornell fighting for the listerner's attention with the rest of the band unlike the first album. On the positive side the songwriting is much better (because Cornell obviously wrote most of the songs) and his voice is sounding better. Also this is Wilk's best drumming since his RATM days. They now sound like a true band rather than a "supergroup" put together merely for marketing purposes.
