I think it's the situation that Meat has an image in his mind of what the album should sound like, and RC does all the technical stuff, chosing songwriters, etc
The fact that Rob Cavallo takes care of the production doesnt mean Meat has no influence.
And personally speaking, I'd rather see him give the job to someone really good, than doing half the job himself. The two albums with his biggest involvement (MATLAF and BBIS) are his weakest (IMO).
