I’m not sure I know what it means for these guys to be “stuck in the 2000s” when it comes to production. It’s not like they ever embraced the quad tracked rectifier/5150 with triggered drums, quiet bass, and brick wall limited sound that was popular. If anything, their production style was always stuck in previous decades from a technical point of view. They lost some of the dynamic range on 10K days, and that loss continues here, but I’m guessing they found it impractical to be mastered so much quieter than their contemporaries and these recordings are still much more organic than most mainstream rock or metal albums, in large part because they can afford it.
What production revolutions of the ‘10s are they missing out on that makes this sound dated to you? Genuinely curious. I mainly associate the ‘10s in rock and metal with two things - on one end extreme democratization and standardization of production style due to the emergence of amp modeling, convincing drum sampling, and knowledge sharing via the internet. And the other being niche sub genre specific production styles like throwback OSDM albums

sorry, i didnt mean stuck in the 2000s compared to production templates of that time within similar genres. i meant compared to their own 2000s work - 10 000 and lateralus, both production-wise and sonically.

The band definitely played to their own comfort on the album. They're not pushing the envelope of anything, but every song also sounds really organic, like a jam session without any overtly specific planning. I think that actually suits the band really well. They're not being derivative of themselves, they're just playing to their strengths.
At the same time pandering has its place. Most fans of the band who have been fans since Aenima probably have lives and families and responsibilities and are disconnected from pop culture enough to not be hip to what's hip. An album like this is probably the exact right kind of familiar.

Fair enough. One of the things I miss production wise from the Arnima day’s is the weird 3 dimensional phasing sound Adam gets on his guitar tones. It’s a combination of natural phase issues from his use of 3 amps dialed to different frequencies and then multi tracked, and then overlaid with really subtle way, volume, phase, flanger usage from measure to measure. He still does most of that stuff so the disappearance of the 3D sound probably has to do with improved studio phase correction

your knowledge on these production techniques is a bit beyond me but i know enough to get the gist of it, i'll have to revisit aenima to listen for that
