Gil Norton

I think Dole and Up In Arms are the only ones that they left with his drums on them.

Production from Gil Norton is crisp, but super powerful.

It manages to be both heavier and more introspective than the debut record.

Every song on here, I think, feels like an essential part of the whole.

In 2004, Jimmy Eat World released Futures.

This was an album that was produced by Gil Norton, and it was a little bit more emo rock than they used to do.

Hit number six on the Billboard album chart, it had songs like Pain and Work.

Also on that same day, Rod Stewart released another one of his Great American Songbook albums.

But it's a, even if you don't, it's just, it's a, it's a hoof, you know, I get paid to listen to music.

it's not to like you know and so I've adored it I mean there's been times as previously discussed where you go jeez why am I here but they're few and far between although I always go back to my first walking into women lane studio one the lights were down and looked like I was okay this is walking into Star Trek or something this is amazing and then sound music coming out of the speakers I think the frames were making an album at the time with the guy who produced Doolittle by the Pixies yeah Gil Norton and then Yeah, so I was just like, okay, I've arrived.

So I always go back to that moment when I'm feeling like I shouldn't be here.

But I'd recommend it to anyone.

The frustrating thing to me is, in my days as a, as a musician, before I became an engineer, I came up in the world of pre-production.

You know, spending weeks at SIR with Larry Hirsch or, or Gil Norton and hammering through the songs beforehand, before entering the studio.

And budget-wise, that just seems those events happen less unless you have the right financial backing behind the project.

Always.
