The recording
Recorded in 2003 for the band's untitled fifth studio album, 'Feeling This' was tracked at a rented home in San Diego converted into a studio (The Rubin's House), produced by Jerry Finn. The song was a major stylistic shift, capturing a raw yet layered studio sound. Tom and Mark wrote their parts independently, leading to unique harmonic layering. The guitar signal was often split and treated with significant attention to amp blending and room character.
