My position is not that hard to understand either, but you chaps aren't even trying to.
My position is this: 'well-written' and 'well arranged' are value judgements. There is NO universal concrete method to writing a pop song, or any kind of song; it is all subjective, with varying degree's of individuality involved. The evidence I provide to support this is the range of responses that everyone has had to the idea that they write good music - the body of varied responses is evidence that this is a subjective argument.
You cannot say that because I think they suck, that I'm ignoring that their stuff is "well written" - because me thinking they suck means inherently that I think their stuff is NOT well written. It's just not a valid response on your part; it really just smacks of fanboi-ism, or bending-over-backwards-liberalism.
How on earth you expect me to find the silver lining with a band like Nickelback, I'll never know.

The only one I could think of off the top of my head might be Greg Fidelman, but even he has some decent sounding records under his belt. He might be better at engineering than mixing though.
You could argue that his patriarch, Rubin, has no technical knowledge whatsoever, but you can't deny his eye and ear for picking artists and his ability to push bands to bring out quality songs.
Team up Rubin with a great mixer and you're in for a treat. His work with Andy Wallace or Brendan O'Brien was magnificent. Just imagine if it would have been Andy Wallace who mixed "Death Magnetic" and "World Painted Blood"...

Maybe retract a couple statements in that department, at least. But back to the topic....
Obviously the guy in the original article/video has success. He's at least adequate at what he does and can support himself on his job as an engineer. Perhaps he's gotten to a point where all he has to do push a few buttons and slide a few faders and he's got a mix that becomes a top hit? Perhaps. I think it's also likely where he's at a point where can "afford" to be lazy and inarticulate and still make the big bucks.
I think if anything he's not a good steward of his success. I think it would be incredible if people like him could bring like Joey into his studio, purely for getting a name's sake the easy way and pumping out GOOD engineers in the market for the entire musical spectrum, and not just what is popular.
I also hate to be a forum nazi but could we keep NSFW material in a specifically NSFW thread?

I hereby decree this thread will now be about poasting your favorite Sloan quotes.
I like to take all the low E strings from 6 packs and put them on the guitar so they're all the same gauge, then i tune to open g. OBEY THY UNCLEANSED RIFF.

Quite a shame that many of the new guys never had the chance to witness Sloan's greatness. At least it's archived here and Marcus you're doing a good job promoting his heritage.
I hope he didn't turn that "gun" quote into reality.

Watch out, it's sharp!
He might have found a way to really live inside the riffz... now he can't get out!
... and probably doesn't want to anyways.
