Producer Highlight: Mike Sapone
by
benpaco 
One of the few producers I've already heard everything from. Will add to this as more releases happen (i.e. new Brand New and Mayday Parade in the works). EPs, singles, and soundtracks not included. Also there's several "rumored Sapone projects" - everything from Stuttering John to Ultra X, but I'm just going with the stuff he takes credit for.

Classic Sapone structure, soft yet intense intro, 10 songs in increasing crescendo. Really only differs from some of his other classics in that it has few to no calm moments after the intro.
Maybe his best known or best reviewed album.

TBS peaked early and kind of plateaued before struggling more, but Sapone's style has always been apparent. Interesting and impressive he's been able to stay on good terms with Nolan and Lacey.
One of the most representative albums of Sapone's style and range, varying from some pretty intense stuff to some light stuff without any very awkward transitions.

Crime In Stereo's best known release is loud, in your face, and pretty nonstop. Everything here is pretty perfect for a Burnout/Need For Speed soundtrack, but again, they just never made it for whatever reason.

TBS's last great album before things started to go downhill a little.
Sapone shows off a lot of different tricks here, making a versatile group really push the boundaries. A very good album with some really subtle stuff going on.

It's a shame that Sapone's only confirmed hip-hop work is so short lived, as he really can produce. Lars has always been one of the best nerdcore rappers, and this is no exception.
A half-Sapone, half Kevorkian (Maroon 5 and The National apparently) effort that is weirder than it has any right to be. The song structures are pop-punk but the overall feel really is more indie pop rock.
