In other words, in order for somebody [who’s] invested so much into getting a guitar part right — spending six hours to get it just right — in order for you to realize that that guitar part sucks and you should erase it, it takes some time away to really have that objectivity.

About how long did it take you to write this album?
I write songs all the time, so it’s impossible for me to say how long it took to write the songs.
