PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE SUBJUGATION!!!
That was well said. Thank you for the ideas you presented.
I appreciate the consistency to Devin's writing. It is a wonder to see actual musicians progress their own abilities and expand their music and sound but still go back to that familiar rhythm or ideas that they have been running with the entire time. Sort of like a, "check out what I can offer now but let's not forget where we came from". It is what really separates the true musicians from people that play instruments in a band. It is so much easier to just continue writing songs and never come around in a full circle than it is to come back home and still make it sound fresh to the ears and have your listeners not get bored of it.
Some musicians say they don't ever want to come back to where they started and always want to push forward. It makes me wonder just how much better some bands/musicians would be if they took a moment to reflect on their past ideas and try to incorporate that while still expanding on new ideas before entering the studio.
