I love how i can actually feel the ambience of the room. Clashing drum sticks, Cory with his screams, studio fun talk, heavy guitar feedback. It just feels so live. But man, the sampling on lot of NJ interludes and certain songs makes it so rich. Norma Jean has always such a huge soundscape.

[@adrianobertuzzo]

This is exactly what I want to see from a band and producer with such talent. A peek behind the curtain.

[@SafetyLast-_-]

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and where all those interesting sounds originally come from 👍

[@dclarkmusic]

I was not expecting this intro! Such a wild way to start the album.

[@TommyHoover]

This is so cool

[@eatadick4127]

Man, I'd love to see track by track breakdowns. The amount going on 1994 alone is immense

[@samfiles]

1994 is the year I was born. Song sounds sick

[@battmarn]

The album is so good, can't wait to hear it live in the UK some time

[@HotSinglesNearU]

Thank you for doing this! I love to see songs like this dissected. I’m left astounded by how much hard work goes into crafting even something as unassuming as an intro to a song, let alone a whole song. Breakdowns like this really reinforce how much of an art songwriting truly is.

[@BrapBang]

That was excellent. I always wonder where some of the sound samples came from. Norma Jean has been the soundtrack from my teenage years to my 40s... through the Army, Iraq, College, 2 kids and 15 years of working in the woods. Thanks guys.

[@KuylersUsername]

The edited guitars give me HUGE Minus the Bear/Dave Knudson vibes and I'm all about that.

[@electricnebraska]

Great catch, I’m a huge fan of Knudson’s work.

[@28lbs88]

I’ve been a fan since day one pretty much & this has been by far the most fun NJ album to ingest…what was so weird for me was I didn’t know what to think out of the gate and my crutch was my understanding of the passion y’all have for creating …so I kept listening over and over leaning into that “understanding” -I’ve come to ABSOLUTELY love this album -possibly more than all the rest …so so good ! Thank you guys so much!

[@kaminski321]

So dope! Would love to see more!

[@C.S.Argudo]

Woah

[@christdolphin69]

[@BriK33]

I feel like this song is the soundtrack to when Jesus was flipping over the tables in temple.

[@horizonishere]

Thanks for sharing this it’s so awesome! The sounds you crafted blow my mind.

[@christiankettlewell]

Thanks for all your hard work, fellas! This record is perfect for punch-dancing out all my rage!

[@fallingup8009]

Super cool video. Would love to see more stuff like this about the new album. It's a masterpiece!

[@ericchin739]

Dude.... you did SUCH a good job on this album. I can't believe I might say this but.... it's the best Norma Jean album of all time. Yes.... better than Bless the Martyr

[@justinwilliam4644]

Awesome!!! Love to see more of these. I thought everyone used protools, but it looks like Ableton. (Tho I've never used protools so it could be, dunno what interface look like...)

[@electricnebraska]

Correct, Ableton

[@peterplaysbass]

Love this behind the scenes stuff

[@colemanhuckins1181]

Sick

[@uhka5375]

nice vid big thank you

[@Mindartcreativity]

To be honest when I listened to this song for the first time, I was like „WTF is this weird shit?“😅 It‘s actually pretty interesting now to to see it all unfolded and explained.

[@cloudrabbitdesigns1656]

Canadian Radio 🤙

[@immortallix]
