Line 53:
Pierre characterized Hoppus as both "very involved and not involved", with his job as producer mainly giving notes on the sound of the instruments and offering suggestions to improve songs. Hoppus mostly worked with the band on arrangements, believing the songs were too packed and "needed to breathe".<ref name="Hoppus"/> Hoppus mentioned that label politics had hindered the creativity of Blink's ''[[Take Off Your Pants and Jacket]]'' (2001), and did not want to see the same fate befall the band.<ref name=ca>{{cite news| author=Keith Carman| date =April 27, 2005| title =Motion City Soundtrack Give Mad Props To Blink's Hoppus| work=[[ChartAttack]]}}</ref> He was "meticulous" in his approach, partially due to the fact that it was his first production job. Hoppus was the one who advised the band to merge two previously unrelated songs—a slower, softer song and a pulsating drum track—into one, which became "Time Turned Fragile".<ref name=pierrepodcast/> The frontman of [[Fall Out Boy]], [[Patrick Stump]], contributed guest vocals to "[[Everything Is Alright]]", and Hoppus to "Hangman".<ref name="liner">{{cite AV media notes | title=Commit This to Memory| year=2005| others=[[Motion City Soundtrack]] | type=liner notes | publisher=Epitaph | ___location=US | id=86750-2}}</ref> With production completed, Hoppus was very excited for the band that he felt was on the cusp of "great things", recalling, "After six weeks of these guys living all together in two rooms of this house with a studio attached they created this amazingly beautiful and honest album. Justin's lyrics are so brutally truthful."<ref name="Hoppus"/> The group completed recording in November 2004, and judged final mixes over the interim months.<ref name="cleve"/> Pierre later called ''Commit This to Memory'' his personal favorite album by the band.<ref name="noisey" />
