We know the album was recorded in separate studios, with the vocals being recorded in one place and instruments another.
But the knowledge we completely lack is the dynamics of the recording. And I'm not talking about no sound waves.
How much "hey, Dean and I are recording some guitar parts at my house, do you want to come by and throw some ideas around?" or "why don't you come down to Lavish and help with the chords to this melody I've got kicking around in my head" went on during the recording?
We know Don Was made them get together to play the stuff in a live setting, but how much was written that way?
Is there anyone in particular we can blame for a lack of trying, (lookin' at you, Kretz....
) or was it just a bad effort all around? Fragile relationships, trying not to step on toes, etc.
It's still a good album, but sad and drunk Scott really isn't the lyricist that dope & coke Scott is. Was.
