The outro to 1/2 Full is pretty rad.

All of Grievance is awesome.

The rapid fills on Save You are fucking sick.

The second half of 1/2 Full is incredible. I read that Matt recorded (the majority of?) Save You without his headphones on (they slipped off), just watching Jeff's fingers on the fretboard through the glass partition. That takes major chops.

Apparently during the breakdown. If you know the song then it should be okay as a drummer to do this.

I've done something similar a couple of times. Once the guitarist and bass player kept fucking up and evn though they planned to overdub they would yell stop, re-record etc. I got fed up and just ploughed through the song with one of them hurling abuse at me while doing so. It ended up being the take we used. A second time was similar but the singer continued to give me cues. It's not ideal but if it gets the job done. In Matt's case, Jeff was locking into his beat.
