I've actually thought a little about this.
I would agree that Steve will utilize subtlty in this album as no one has on a DMB album since he last produced the band, but I wouldn't expect that he'd approach a new DMB album in the same manner he approached the 3 (4) he's done previously. I expect this album to be pretty different than any before it. What will be the same is the quality.
Too much is different in the band, compositionally, and I would expect Lillywhite to bring out the best of the band in it's current state, and that jazzy \ eclectic sound may no longer be the way to go in his opinion.
You can't underestimate Roi's absence in the studio here. Jeff brings something different. I'm excited about what that may be. Move forward, not back. We don't need a rehash of the past, IMO. Just make it great, and having Lillywhite back is a huge step in the right direction.
