Extremely dated production... Makes it almost unlistenable. Do yourself a favour and get the new Libertines album instead.
Luckily, it is A modern production would have ruined these songs.
...No it wouldn't have. Should have had someone like Stephen Street on the job. The production on this album is extremely amateur.

I'm just curious what you guys think modern and dated production is? The word is bantered around without people understanding what it is. Yeah this record was recorded on analog tape but no doubt the the tracks were all transferred to ProTool and plenty of modern production techniques were used to arrange edit and make the record. Just because it is sparse instrumentally at times doesn't imply dated (or modern) production techniques were used.
I respect everybody's opinion on here, not everyone is going to love the record, so what? But a bit better description of what specifically they are referring to concerning the production would be nice.

I thought Robbed Blind was outstanding. I was blown away. Have to really dig into the rest of the album, but just thought that song was incredible. Am I alone in that?

Stop the BS.
Production-wise the record is very good.
I didn´t like what Jordan did with Jon Spencer; but this is goog.

Generally the drum sounds, use of multilayered tracks, how the vocals are recorded, how loud the main and B/g vocals are in the mix, how other instruments are flown into the song, choice of instrumentation, and where everything sits in the stereo field are the elements of production that I consider when analyzing the production quality of a record.
Of course the best ones have you noticing and complementing the techniques and the worst ones have you cursing the methods that get in the way of the song. Often times they are just transparent to the average listener and leave you hearing and feeling the song's emotional content and artist performance factors more than anything else.
Some people say "I don't care about production, just listen to the song, you like it or you don't", but imo those people don't understand that the production can make or break a tune and just aren't interested in the methods and science of recording music. No worries, to each their own.
With the exception of the drum sound and mix on a couple of tracks on this new record, I think they have done a great job. The production seems to serve the songs and improve their delivery in most cases. I'd go so far as to say this is a good sign for the next Stones record, since Keith has delivered just what he wants to hear and I think the production on CrossEyed Heart would work very well for The Rolling Stones. Perhaps Steve Jordan is the man for the job. They have had pretty amazing success using a producer who was a drummer in the past. lol

Just bought the cd today the songs are interesting, playing is great but I think the engineering & production are ordinary, it sounds a bit sparse and muddy plus Keith's vocals are a bit too close up in the mix.
I'd guess that all your descriptions of the production were the intent.

The new Libertines album, while quite enjoyable, sounds very clean and a bit too modernish. It makes me wish they had hired again Mick Jones as producer like on their first two albums.
On the other hand, Keith's album sounds very fresh to me because you just listen to him and his band playing together with no additional production. The fact that Keith has written many great songs helps a lot too of course...
