I'm not a big fan of his overly compressed sound production either but this guy is actually helping the band the stick together.

From what I heard and to my understanding Shanks joining the touring band was a last minute thing and I doubt Shanks has anything to do with "helping the band stick together".
Shanks isn't core to the existence of this band, the only thing Shanks has done is tarnished the band's reputation with the amount of generic crap that's been put out in the last decade.
