First time I sensed something with "All Good Things," which was supposed to be an "Carried Away," were they basically talk about how sick they are of the music industry. Then I interviewed Thes in 2010, and there was a subtext that he was just get tired of doing a lot of things needed to continue to build an audience in the '10s. The group didn't get into social media until **maybe** Instagram.

Then when the started putting out those "Getting Off Stage" EPs in 2015, I knew the end was in sight. I figured after Vol. 3 that they were going to call it a day, but that never dropped. I'm guessing at least some of the stuff on that got repurposed for this album.

I agree. They were excellent at what they did and I had hoped that were going to keep it going for as long as possible. And I loved every single show of theirs I went to.

Probably the second two a least a little. And just the game wasn't in them anymore. Especially Thes.
