I recorded the drum tracks live(with a real drummer, since I'm a fairly sh*tty drummer), but I would overdub bass, guitar, keys, acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, and all three vocal parts. And I could do all this in less than an 8 hour window, per song. So yeah, taking a year to do an album, is literally retarded.

(However, in their defense, I was only going for "presentable" recordings, not Grammy worthy)
