YOUR question:

Do you make a point to check out albums by people you have collaborated with (Mike. Trey, Bar. Zorn etc). And is it hard to be objective? Also if they do something you don't necessarily like, does it make it even more awkward?
my answer:
I usually do and yes it is. Frankly it’s nearly impossible to be objective. Those I’ve worked with closely for years are in my veins and I hear much more than the uninitiated listener. But we don’t sit around waiting for each other’s constructive criticism or praise. Although I have personally asked for the former. We all know that we are separate entities with our own tastes and choices, so no, not awkward. Believe it or not, we’ve matured!
