    I rewatch this every so often because it’s got some great nuggets in it. And it always breaks my heart when Tim says at the beginning that more track breakdowns will come in the following weeks, but then they never came 😢

    I've seen no other band who generously shares the ton of work behind that goes in the production process of a track. This again shows us how much this band loves and believes in their art and creativity.
    Taking time to trace back every single step right from the beginning is phenomenal. I don't think it'll be wrong to say that this band not only entertains people but also educate in their own way which makes them stand out from the crowd 💜💙
