It’s easy to imagine the relief and profound sense of accomplishment the band must have felt after completing this grueling exercise in creativity and craft. They emerged with forty-six completed songs—including two from August that would later appear on Broken String. This output is the equivalent of four full albums created in just twelve months, a truly Prince-level feat. In that same year, 2006, Twitter was founded and Google acquired YouTube. The High School Musical soundtrack was the top-selling album, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was the highest-grossing film. Now, at the time of this post, that incredible creative burst happened nearly 19 years ago. Burn calendar, burn!
