Some questions about MSR...

hey will, hope you'll see this

just so you know, MSR is one of my fav albums of 23 and I binged it quite a lot these last few years (921 mins says stats.fm, it's probably more), and I had a few questions about it since I produce and do music as well so here they are:

1: The album choose to not use bass or any form of drumming whatsoever in most of its songs, do you feel like the album would have been different from your wish if you used more drums and more bass for the songs?

2: How much time did it took to create the album in its entirety? (so writing/recording/mixing)

3: Does the album have any relations to YCGMA in its writing or process? (like for example unused demos from YCGMA that made it to MSR when producing them again)

4: Is there songs from the project which did not make it to release and will we ever hear them?

thank you and hope you respond !
