Eric Valentine redeems himself from the above bands with the fact that he also co-produced Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf.
Another change in personnel came with the arrival of producer Eric Valentine, who had previously worked on a pair of Dwarves albums with Oliveri. Valentine was actually a requirement by Interscope and didn't do his job according to Homme, who commented that "[Valentine] just recorded it actually, it says production, he was only there to record the beginning of it."
