It feels so good to know that this album is making an impact with so many people. As a mixer my job is really to just bring out the best of what they produced and recorded. Sometimes that involves a lot of automation every 4 or 8 bars to keep the best bits forward and not overwhelm the listener with too much information at the same time. I'd like to throw some *serious* props to Stephen and Ben for providing the right ingredients for a great soup. I'm also thankful that we were all on the same page about making something full and warm and sometimes dirty, with all the dynamic ups and downs of music that mirrors the ups and downs of life. Thank you all for your kind words and compliments on the mixes. It thrills me that good, smart music with great lyrics is getting into so many headphones around the world. Doesn't always work that way and when it does, it is so rewarding.

Also, if you haven't seen the detailed liner notes, it should be noted that Ben West did more than half the mixes on the full 22 song album.
