What I see is evidence that people can point to a couple years from now, and say, "No, I think '____ _____' really was a band album. I definitely remember seeing videos from when it was being recorded. And they were all there, in the studio, working on it together..."

And Jon will probably tell the story about how they were all in the studio, "... and day one, song one, Phil-X says to me, 'Hold on, Popeye! I think it needs something like this...' and then rips off this blazing 4-minute solo that took the song from 'okay' to 'epic'."
