About halfway through recording this guitar, I looked down and saw that fuzz (l) and bitcrush (r) were both still one from the previous take ('too fine'). Instant thought was 'just clean it up in production' and so it went. I love fuzz/bitcrush, but wasn't intending to play from start to end with them here. Toward the ending, you can hear first the fuzz, and second the bitcrush being turned off during the take.
approaching the mountain pass
our infantry bound from cover to cover
our AFVs hang back in overwatch
whatever we said we were fighting for
does it matter any more
is there really anything any man should fight for
other than a beautiful bride and the homestead life?
words words we're being bombarded
call in some air support
call in a prayer
our guys are in it now
how many will make it back out
how many pretty women back home will get a visit
sorry to say your true love were lost at the mountain pass
politicians promises will never serve to salve
the wounds we carry for the rest of our days
but we get together and we're ok
with a flask and a blunt and a bump
sharing stories of our biggest airborne jump

Again, the balance between the vocal and the music works really well - makes a really engaging song. The drums sound almost Casio-like, and that solidity gives the guitar space to breathe. Sounds excellent!
