First and foremost, if you have not heard The Way Out from The Books, please go obtain a copy at your earliest convenience. I suggest the vinyl edition as the first run is on a beautiful white & clear spatter wax with custom etching on the D side. Yes, I am fetishizing the package but I think it's worth the praise.

Once you're familiar with the record, start keeping your eye on the band's blog as they are going through each track on the record and describing the process of creation. Granted, sometimes you don't want the mystery of the song explained but hearing a bit of the technical insight into just how they achieved certain sounds is fascinating.
