It's honestly so crazy how much he's changed. In this, he is so deeply proud of his work as a teenager producing his own music whereas in the Spirit Phone commentary he is extremely humble and slightly anxious even though he should be so much more proud of Spirit Phone. I can sort of see why he's not as fond of his older work anymore because of its slight self-indulgence. Very much the reverse progression of most musicians.

@@Crimson_Dusk Yeah, I think a lot of his disdain for his early stuff is because he was a bit of a knob at times back then, lol. Have you seen the Something Awful thread where he's being poked fun at, and he entered the thread and started vehemently defending himself, aswell as bragging about his work and girlfriend as a way to "stick it to them"?

i dont know if i should be honored i share a birth year with this album or mad at the fact i wasnt able to experience its release

50:49 no, neil. i dont get it. ive been in one story houses in the past, yup. you wanna know what? they had stairs that would lead to their basement. i've fallen down the stairs in a one story house before. would it be less likely since theres only one flight of stairs, instead of two flights? or that some one story houses dont have basements? yes. but that still doesnt change the fact that you can fall down the stairs of this one story house. therefore, with my research, you could fall down your stairs if youre living in a one story house.

This commentary track is so different from the spirit phone one. That’s probably why Neil has notes in the spirit phone one because this feels like Neil just got a microphone and started recording, attempting to say anything about his music. This is a ramble but you get what I mean (hopefully).
