To use another baseball analogy, he was the power hitting free agency signing that had his best years behind him. Sure, he was legendary in the 80’s/early 90’s, but that was long ago. His influence and success these days is sparse. I wouldn’t count producing ‘Death Magnetic’ any great accomplishment, those records would have sold regardless of who was behind the controls.

I still wonder why Columbia ever thought Rubin would actually do any work at this point in his career that did not involve a high profile, high paying artist and a mixing console. I could see him laughing that they actually still hired him. I wonder if it’s all an elaborate joke. One more push and the industry…
