While the guitars sound excellent and seem to be the focus of discussion so far,
can you share any insight into the drum tracking and mixing? The snare and toms
in particular sound great.

I suppose a fair bit of level automation was used to emphasize certain hits and
fills? With all of the guitars and keys layered in the midrange, how did you
approach getting the drums to sit properly, while still sounding thick?

Finally, how did you approach arrangement with the band for some of the longer
songs (especially the final track)? I'm quite impressed when I hear a 12-minute
song that almost feels too short, and demands a replay or two.

..and thanks for taking the time to share with everyone.
Best,
Brian
