Well they were a pretty big fuckin deal when they got signed so they had a little bit to prove but I don't think this album sounds forced at all.



Was just readin up on them and I never knew that Kevin and Stephan hated each other so much. This is from Eric Valentine the dude who produced the ST





" I think all of my effort on Blue would have been invested in keeping the peace between Kevin and Stephan. I heard that they weren't really collaborating at that point. As I have said before, I believe it is the collaboration of those two people that really makes the first record so special. Their relationship was strained throughout the first record and the band almost broke up at one point but we managed to work through it. Most all of Kevin's guitar overdubs were done without Stephan in the room. It was the only way to keep the peace."



This is also just slightly interesting/amusing



"I was successful at discouraging the inclusion of the song "Slow Motion" on the first record and I would have campaigned similarly on the second record. When that song was kicking around on the first record the original lyric was "Slow Motion In The Ghetto". It was mostly about the plight of people living in the ghetto. Maybe I just knew Stephan too well at that point but, I just couldn't take that song seriously from a person that grew up in Palo Alto and spent most of his youth hangin out on the Stanford campus. I had just come of off 3 straight years of working on some of the most radical controversial militant rap music out at the time (Paris - "The Black Panther of Hip Hop") and had heard a whole lot about the struggles associated with African American's and Ghettos from people who had first hand experience with it... Stephan's version felt very contrived to me. I literally told him I would not work on the song (I was pretty stubborn back then"
