Obviously Rubin brought in a whole heap of friends this time to help get the sound he wanted with the Dixie Chicks. Whatever he does, it seems to work.

by being a person who sits around and gives his opinion, I will give him credit as being a great motivator in the studio in regards to getting the best out of an artist (He will need good luck in regards to Metallica...Reading the studio comments about Metallica w/Rubin at the helm on the official Metallica website is a big laugh) but as a producer in the technical sense I think he is very ordinary and somewhat overrated.

Oh, never listened to Neil Diamond since he is not my taste in music...But he has my respects as a musician/songwriter
