There are standout songs, but they are like your favourite figures in a great tapestry. It’s the whole that makes this album so special.

Electronic tuners prevented the untold numbers of fistfights and band breakups that happened in the days of tuning by ear (when others were also tuning or doodling around). That’s where my sanity left me. “Kids these days have it so easy!” (screams at cloud)
