Jerry Finn Report

So, here's the deal

I've been taxed with the responsibility of constructing a mini thesis (basically a massive 4000 word report) on any musical production technique, album, era, sound or whatever - it's pretty open ended. It's a part of my end of year hand ins for my final year of college.

I've been thinking seriously of focusing on Jerry Finn's production style and sound, but wouldn't know if there are enough resources or where to find them. I'll be doing some internet research on this later in the month and will look for some books/decent magazine interviews aswell.

In the mean time I was just wondering if any members of the board who are in any way clued in on this fellow would be able to give me any hints, point me in the right direction, facts, anything! I would be massively appreciative as I'd like to do this paper on something I'm genuinely interested in, even though it's not something I possess too much knowledge on!

I can describe Jerry Finns production in two words: overproduced and polished

I love his production. I think it's almost like extra instrumentation adding so much to the sound.

For over produced and over polished see Underclass Hero or American Idiot - piss poor production.

Little off-topic, but here's a little interview with blink's Mark Hoppus talking about Jerry.
