I usually love their production.

I like the production on And Justice for All, too, although I wouldn't have minded the bass being turned up a bit in the mix. However, that album has such a unique sound to it that adds a lot to the tunes.

My production philosophy is basically that production should be approached as "its own instrument." Kind of like coming up with interesting synthesizer patches that have a lot of musical value. I'm not at all fond of approaches that approach production in a more "clinical" way, where everything has to be at certain standard, relative levels in the mix, EQ'ed in typical ways, be necessarily "clean"-sounding, etc. Producers should experiment with timbres and tackle each project with a clean slate, where they're forgetting about norms and focusing on creating interesting sounds that serve as an additional artistic element shaping the whole.
