================================================ Subject: Re: Album done in three weeks From: "Jo Penton" To: Date: Sat 27 Oct 2001 22:55:51 -0000 ================================================ Musicians normally do all the hum-drum daily practice routinely. By they time they are ready to put it together on an album, they know what they are there to achieve. I think that 3 weeks is totally reasonable for recording an album where the songs had already been written and rehearsed. BTW; I think that Bullets ROCKS!!! The triplet patterns in the lyrics are awesome, and the sixteenth patterns in the guitar riffs gives me the impression of an battle goin on within the song. And then the dotted-eighth-sixteenth followed by the triplets in the lyrics is just addicting! The syncopation throughout the song is also very fun to listen to. I have had a ball listening to it over and over and over. It's like the music is totally acting out what they are trying to get across in the lyrics. Laters!
