“My breakthrough was understanding that each album is very different, down to their essence. And that there were no two that I was going to enjoy in the same way”

2:12:28 All in on Cocainium, back where I belong, Eula, and the subtle effects work on the album

2:30:37 Green, differing lyrics themes, comparisons to classic rock, and the wonderful weirdness of psalms alive
