Blessed with the opportunity to use some of the finest analogue recording gear, the band aimed to capture the music in its natural form on 2-inch tape, utilizing live tracking, aggressive guitar tones, and raw vocal takes. The results were overwhelmingly pleasing, rock solid and full of depth, mastered by Brad Blackwood - Memphis TN, "The View" is a must hear, IB's finest recording effort to this day.
