@@bubbamike4743 Stu co-wrote every song on Polygondwanaland, co-written with Joey and Cavs. And if you compare Poly to the rest of Joey’s work, it’s clear that he was the principal songwriter on about 2/3rds of the album. A bunch of Joey exclusive tropes show up everywhere, especially Inner Cell -> Searching. It seems to me like the other two got co-credit because of how intricate their self-written parts were.

Hope to see more stuff like this with Stu, he did a great interview/breakdown of the ableton project for Honey with KEXP which I imagine if you are watching this you probably have already seen (if not I would really recommend). He doesn't really mess around with mundane promotional interviews but when he takes the time to give some insight into his process it is really appreciated.

this guy has incredible talent and strong drive . i am shocked at the quality of his output - there is literally NO filler . it took me a while to realize how great this band really is , initially i thought oh this band has great videos .... then 2017 happened and i was like this band is fucking tops period . i love all of their music . i feel they should be ruling the world , but every time i get that with an artist they end up with a dedicated cult following not world domination . i spose in order to be THAT popular you cant really make quality music . you have to deliver the stuff that sells. the irony is in order to be a success at music you have to fail .

the comment made at 8:40 is how I look at it as well, I also embrace a creative block, because it simply means you eleveted above you've been doing and your vision has grown. you are not "satisfied" anymore with the quality you of the work you produce, so you have to become better, learn, grow. I cannot imagine an artist existing without creative blockage, because it would mean they stay on the same level and never progress. so a block is a sign of growth, while it can still be quite annoying and frustrating, this idea gives me comfort when I'm stuck.
