    The creativity has really been on point recently - and I don't just mean the "wah distortion" things that make the youtube titles, but the lines and writing too. In previous years sometimes the songs weren't feeling quite so fresh from one another but this year I really feel like Charles' writing and composition has felt elevated to a whole new level - he's shown us that somehow there was a level above where he was already at!!
