That Terry Date interview I did a couple years ago...

There are so many times that I put on a TD-produced record and just think to myself how freaking great it sounds. Some deeper cuts for me would be like "Rickets" or "Elite" by Deftones, "Dim the Lights" by Handsome, "Slaughtered" by Pantera... the insanely heavy, thick mixes he does are my favorite. Just absolutely huge. I feel like some of the laptop metal I hear now takes cues from his blueprints, but just sucks a lot of the soul out. Too icy. Too "perfected".

Only other thing I could say about the guy is that, compared to some other interviews I have done (say, certain engineers who refer to themselves in the third person by their initials), he was just a real sweetheart. It was almost like he was amazed people are fans of him as a producer. We only had forty-five minutes slated and as the clock was running out he goes, "hang on, let me bump this 2:00 for an hour so we can keep talking."
