yes, I understand that we suck, but there were seriously only about 2 songs that we forgot about recording, and I think you can survive. Most of you seemed like you had about three times the library of M artists that we did, anyway. Plus, I'll show you something cool. I hope you all like it...because it'll break my heart if you don't. Check out the album with the same name. Because you trust me.
