Agreed. From what it sounds like, Shanks produced David Lee Roth's vocals and the band did the music side with someone else. Does anyone else know more about this? But that whole album is a monster and produced to perfection. That drum sound is killer.
I def agree with your point about other producers. What Do You Got felt like a wall of noise too. The Huff tracks sounded a bit warmer to me but that just might be because of the use of organic rootsier instruments and arrangements.
