They mastered it in the 90's. BOR is the perfect example of that. It's an 80's song with a 90's production. IML is another big example of that.
Unfortunately, just like everything else that happened in the last 10 years, they've gotten a little off balance with the "times" and their "sound". The times are dominating their sound and that's why a new producer is in order. Jon also needs to get his head out of his ass by taking more control.

I agree with it all by the last part. To say he has no control implies that someone else is controlling the show and I just don't think that's the case. I think he's just not showcasing the artist within and letting easy lyrics and fad production make it to the final product.
