I can see that but even then it isn't huge. I feel like if you tell me where a song was recorded I can put it all together. If not, I can't...which leads me to say it didn't meet the purpose. Still, the way they recorded is pretty cool.

I would have much rathered them let the local environment influence the music and let the lyrics come from a more heartfelt, personal place. Like for the Chicago song, it seemed like he just pieced together a bunch lines that were taken from various people they interviewed or references to Chicago history. And the end result as a whole is something that doesn't that doesn't really go anywhere and have a strong impact.
