FCagpoCe 5 Tim Neilson: Well, obviously when we were recording the 688 record we had a limited budget and we were all working at other jobs while we were recording. Also, you're doing your part at different times than the others and you hear the finished product and it's frustrating. You say, "I wish this could have been different" but recording with Island, instead of taking three weeks to do an album, it took three months. Kevin: And that was the job. Tim: That was the job. We'd get up in the morning, go to the studio all day, and go home late at night and sleep and do that every day for three months. Flagpole: Did you expect that? Tim: Well, we didn't know what to expect. I was pretty nervous about it but really excited at the same time. We learned alot about recording. Anything we didn't like on this album, we changed. It was also weird being put in different surroundings. Living in New York, we didn't know anyone except each other so we just hung out with each other and at home we have our families and our friends. Kevin: The difference between Scarred But Smarter and this one is that Scarred But Smarter is an excellent representation of what Drivin' n' Crying' sounded like at the time. It's not perfect but it sounded like we did then and this record sounds basically how we sounded when we recorded it, which is kind of confused. It's not a confusing record but we'd lost our drummer (Paul Lenz) and we were in a strange city. And that’s what it sounds like. There’s a story behind it. You know, these guys from Georgia who have families in Atlanta go to the Cily to make a record. And that's what it sounds like. — John Jackson
