Did they change drummers after Dude Ranch or was it before? If I remember rightly they changed after. I don't really think you can blame all of their "poppiness" on a producer. While some of the sound shaping of a CD is by a producer, blink still wrote the songs and had a choice of how they sounded. Its kinda unrealistic to expect a band to stay with a certain sound or exact style for their whole career. People grow and change and so does their music and musical ablilites. If you don't like their stuff, don't listen to it.
