FYI - Casey would be the first person to tell you that he's far from perfect. In fact, I get the sense that all the "OMGILOVEYOUYOURESOAMAZING" stuff makes him seriously uncomfortable.
Although, note that a lot of other artists really like his production abilities and he's been hired to produce a bunch of other albums for smaller bands (e.g., The River Empires, Forgive Durden, Naive Thieves...). Although maybe he takes a different approach when its not his own music.
