| Well there's an incredible difference between writing songs and changing an arrangement of an existing songs with help from a producer. Yes I'm also sure that Desmond had a hand in the notable differences on TMiL, but it's not like this was the first time Meat ahs done it. Original Sin and Left IN The Dark have notable differences on Neighbourhood when comapred to the originals. So sure, Meat doesn't do it alone, but I never said he did. He has great musicians and (sometimes great) producers around him (coincidently, Bad Attitude's co-producer / musical ideas man Mack is a BRILLIANT producer / muso in my opinion). I still think the differences are largely instigated and seen thru by Meat himself moreso than the people around him tho.
