I don’t get the criticism that Rubin doesn’t have “a particular sound.” Music should have the musicians’ sound, not the producer’s. The producer should be invisible and bring out the best in the musicians, the way an editor in writing is.

It never occured to me that it could be criticism. I thought the lack of a "Rick Rubin sound" was more more of an observation.

It’s not supposed to be a criticism. Not having “a sound” means you’re versatile and dynamic.
