The album features live track recording, which the band had never previously attempted. Drummer Francois Comtois noted that working with Chiccarelli for the sessions Inchwas incredibly intimidating, but he kicked our asses into shape.Inch Gadhia also recalled the experience InchWe were criticized in ways we had never even thought of, and were constantly pushed to reach the next level. Looking back on it, [...] he shaped us into better musicians, performers, and songwriters. Album Tracks 1. Apartment 2. My Body 3. I Got 4. Cough Syrup 5. God Made Man 6. 12 Fingers 7. Strings 8.
