    The sound engineer's job is so diverse that it's crazy. Like, he's not just there to hit record. Or even just to make sure everything works the way it should. He's so a part of the creative process that when Rob is not happy with the song, he's there to help and reassure and keep driving the session forward. So shout out to the sound engineer, as always.

    Now I write and record music a lot, even if it’s just some silly nonsense. Not to prove anything to anyone, but just because it’s fun and I love doing it.

    I woulda' sworn Andrew's Evelyn song "Miracle" was premeditated, not written on the fly while you were doing Granddad's Dinner Party. This year's format allowed for more intention it seems. The amount of joy and passion, was SO glad when you had commented on his last space vid about seeing him back on the 1st for FoO. :-)

    In the first two albums, I think that Rob Scallon really shined the most, being a midwest emo gold mine. But this time, Andrew really outdid himself with all the clever lyrics, catchy riffs (such as in Greg), and especially with "Miracle". 10/10
